There is an inextricable link between unions and corruption, sadly. What effect do the unions have on the safety of construction? Is there a better way to approach construction regulation enforcement without taking on the insurmountable task of cleaning up unions? I will address these and other questions in my investigation into construction regulation enforcement post 9/11 and post- building boom. I expect that there are ancient bonds between city officials /regulatory bodies and unions that help them almost collude to maintain the scant level of enforcement that has been reported. But, I also expect that with the amount of building happening in Manhattan it is nearly impossible to enforce all the construction regulations, the importance of which are underscored constantly by things and people falling from buildings and tragedies like the deutsche bank fire.
