Description

Jersey City is in the middle of a fiery labor showdown as LIUNA union files lawsuits and NLRB charges against companies linked to Kushner and Namdar projects, demanding over $2 million in stolen wages and retaliation claims. Workers say they were fired or denied jobs for union support, sparking backing from three city council members who warn unpaid wages hurt schools and communities. AJD Construction emerges as a common culprit across multiple sites, and with NJ’s “up-the-chain” law, even bankrupt firms can’t escape accountability—leaving workers fighting not just for pay, but for the right to organize without fear.
