Mayor Bloomberg: "You have Bruce Ratner's word. That should be enough for you..."
Develop Don't Destroy Brooklyn
Seven construction workers, including former outspoken supporters of Atlantic Yards, promised union cards and construction jobs on Bruce Ratner's Atlantic Yards project are filing suit in federal court today against the developer, the community group funded by him—Brooklyn United for Innovative Local Development (BUILD)—and others.
