Renewed union contracts did not address modular construction, but that's not seen as blocking modular towers at the Atlantic Yards site

Atlantic Yards Report

Norman Oder reports on a recent post by "union radical Gregory Butler, on his Gangbox News blog":

I asked Butler if that meant no modular [construction] at Atlantic Yards--which would include subsidized units and luxury units--and he said no.

"As far as there being a broader move, that didn't happen," Butler said. "But if [Ratner] pushes it, it's almost certain to happen. They've never stopped people from doing prefab."
