Union flier for Ratner rally

Atlantic Yards developer Bruce Ratner is staging a rally, giving away free food and swag, for a project that has already been approved and that he swears is going forward according to plan.
Noting that other developers don't hold rallies for projects that are already approved and are moving forward, all the money and effort put into this Thursday's rally betrays Ratner's nervousness.
Meanwhile, according to this flier posted at a local construction site, the building trades union is instructing union workers to leave REAL jobs on REAL projects that are ACTUALLY being built, to attend a rally for a project whose future, judging by the tenor of the pro-Atlantic Yards rally, seems to be in play.
We can't decide: is this merely bizarre or plain desperate?
