">Eviction Rates Spike at NYCHA PACT Properties
- Development
- 1 day ago
A recent audit commissioned by New York City Comptroller Brad Lander reveals that eviction rates at Permanent Affordability Commitment Together (PACT) developments have surged post-pandemic, aligning more closely with private rental housing rates than traditional NYCHA units. Following the expiration of the eviction moratorium, eviction filings and executions accelerated across all rental housing but occurred at a significantly faster pace in PACT-managed properties.

">Teamsters to Launch Historic Nationwide Strike Against Amazon
- Business
- 1 day ago
The Teamsters are poised to make history as they launch the largest strike against Amazon in U.S. history. Beginning at 6 a.m. EST on Thursday, December 19, the strike follows Amazon’s refusal to comply with the law and bargain with thousands of its workers who have organized with the Teamsters.
“If your package is delayed during the holidays, you can blame Amazon’s insatiable greed,” said Sean M. O’Brien, Teamsters General President. “We gave Amazon a clear deadline to come to the table and do right by our members. They ignored it. These greedy executives had every chance to show decency and respect for the people who make their obscene profits possible. Instead, they’ve pushed workers to the limit and now they’re paying the price. This strike is on them.”
