Update: According to the 76th Precinct: "The demonstration is not connected to the 360 Smith Street site. The union is protesting low wages being paid to the workers of a drywall company working in a brownstone on 2nd Place."
This blog is staunchly pro-union (in most cases). This morning there was a protest outside of 360 Smith Street by the Carpenters' Union. As with all unions, I'm sure that they are starved for work. One can't see much carpentry work being done on the site, but this could be a negotiations tactic for upcoming work. The Carpenters' Union has been hit especially hard with the development freeze around the city, so one can understand why they are grasping at any jobs that they might potentially have.
More details as they become available.
