Video Description

Over the last decade, out of state one percenters have have flocked to Miami, and redeveloping the city into the one with the third tallest skyline in the country. The very people who build these skyscrapers are being left behind, as Miami has become increasingly both unequal and unaffordable. Unsafe working conditions and poverty wages are pushing construction workers out of the state. But workers are fighting back. Unions and community organizations are coming together to demand collective bargaining agreements, cooling centers, independent monitoring, and more. We went down to to the 305 to figure out who will define the future of Miami's skyline. ----- More Perfect Union’s mission is to build power for working people.
