This is disappointing. All the positive and thriving things going on in minority communities are stripped from young children. If someone does not do something about this there will be a lot of lost children in Brooklyn,NY.

I attend the Williamsburg Charter High School. I feel that I am being deprived of a proper education. The WCHS is an amazing school and we cannot sit back and watch our school be taken away, if we do nothing and say nothing we are no better than the people who put us in this position. OUR EDUCATION IS AT STAKE ! LET YOUR VOICE BE HEARD TELL THEM HOW YOU FEEL !

Comment on Another Atlantic Yards lawsuit Allegations that training program does not bring union jobs as promised by Norman Oder

Norman Oder — Sun, 20 Nov 2011 03:02:07 +0000

Here’s more coverage, with video, that provides some facts and context left out above:
http://atlanticyardsreport.blogspot.com/2011/11/i-was-robbed-claims-plaintiff-in.html

For example, the article above states “plaintiff Maurice Griffin, 23, said he took the training because he thought it meant he would get a construction union card.”

He said explicitly that it wasn’t merely his “thought.” He said, “They guaranteed me a union card, They said it’s not a question of whether we have it, but whether you complete the program. And I completed it. I came every time, early. I did my work. I’m here to let everybody know I’m not going to stand for this.”
