They must have gotten what they wanted. They are back to work.

The Lower Manhattan Development Corporation calls the job action by subcontractor John Galt Company, a "minor work stoppage." The agency says it was in contract negotiations with contractor Bovis Lend Lease when Galt workers walked off the job.

It's gonna take a while with only 10 workers showing up each day.

Is that all that they have showing up?

Yep, truely sad.

Rumors are flying that the workers were smoking in the building right before the fire started.

Demolition has been put on hold once again, looks like no 6 million bonus.

In addition to the 2 firefighters killed more than 50 were injured, 8 seriously.

Looks like it's all over, Galt was hit with a "Notice of Default" yesterday from Bovis Lend Lease, the general contractor. The notice axed Galt from the project, citing numerous safety violations at the demolition site and "the failure to properly maintain all required site safety precautions."

And the hits just keep on coming:

The scaffolding on one side of the building collapsed at 2:00 today.

This kind of gives the demolition industry a black eye. I wonder why the NDA hasn't issued some kind of PR saying this is an exception to the business?
