Earlier today, the developers of the big Essex Crossing project announced an agreement with the building workers’ union, 32BJ SEIU, to hire its members for up to 80 positions in the new mixed use complex alongside the Williamsburg Bridge. Part of the deal includes a job training program through the Lower East Side Employment Network.
But the network, a partnership among seven neighborhood non-profit organizations and Community Board 3, has a larger role in local hiring at Essex Crossing. Michael Zisser, a founding member of the LES Employment Network, tells us all parties will have signed a Memorandum of Understanding today or tomorrow to make the arrangement official.
