Is it "illegal" to use non-union construction workers for my nyc apartment renovation? Anyone have experience WITH union workers -- are they more expensive, less careless etc? [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

All depends on the type of work they will be doing AND what the rules of the co-op are as laid out in the shareholders agreement/rules. [ Reply | More

But how can a co-op require you to use union? Are you making this up, or do you really have insight? [ Reply | More

I am sorry - I was using union as short-hand for bonded/insured. My mistake. It's late. [ Reply | More

It doesn't matter if you use union or non union. Most coops ask for proof of insurance from any contractor working in the building. both union and non union have these. [ Reply | More

OR...this is true and this is what I was thinking about...most co-ops want to know the workers are 'bonded', which means insured. For my building, bonded trades people are only required for plumbing, electrical, and other 'structural/significant' work. Not painting or tiling or refinishing floors etc. [ Reply | More

I think it's only illegal to use non-licensed contractors. [ Reply | More
