130 WILLIAM WORKERS ON STRIKE
The building employees at 130 William, the super tall in Fidi designed by David Adjaye, are now on strike (they are part of 32BJ SEIU). The porters, handypersons and concierges who service the building have been fighting for a fair contract since 2023. The union reported that a majority of the building’s 200+ residents have signed a letter of support for the workers, but the condo board is not meeting the workers’ demands. Councilman Chris Marte’s office has more information.

SALSA FOR PRIDE MONTH
Battery Park City will host Las Mariquitas, New York’s queer and trans salsa band, on Saturday, June 7, 6:30p, at Espalande Plaza. The event is free but you can register here.

ONLINE AUCTION FOR THE BATTERY
The Battery has its gala in the park on June 4, but in the meantime, it has an online auction with some cool local stuff: a chess with pieces that look like the carousel; Court16 group classes; dinner at Delmonico’s.
