APOLLO GLOBAL MANAGEMENT IS UNFAIR TO LABOR!

Apollo Global Management is allowing construction laborers to be paid substandard wages at 5 Times Square, one of the largest office-to-residential conversions in New York City.

We call for construction laborers on Apollo projects to be treated with the dignity they deserve and to be paid area-standard wages with health insurance and retirement benefits.

Thank you to and for your solidarity!

This is directed at the public and is NOT an inducement for anyone to stop working or making deliveries
