Around the NASRCC, Area Standards
A strong union needs skills, benefits and ACTION!
Union Square Station Associates (“US2”) announced today that it has selected Cranshaw Construction of Newton, MA for early phase construction for the first phase of its $1.5 billion mixed-use transit-oriented development in Union Square known as USQ.
Congratulations to all of the NERCC staff and members who have done so much over the last few years to advocate for standards in Somerville. Rank-and-file participation in rallies, public meetings and coalition building was crucial. There were also many conversations with US2, local leaders and our union employers, including Cranshaw and subcontractors, that helped bring us to this point.
Together, our members and our union has completed the first phase of work, winning the job. Now begins the second phase, using our skills to build a successful project.
