Workers say starting in 2018 they raised red flags when they saw contracts awarded to friends and family of the then head of the DPW, Mohammed Nuru. Nuru has since pleaded guilty to corruption charges. "I was told by high ranking officials, 'look, you're in the doghouse'," said Theresa Foglio-Ramirez from Laborers International Union Local 261. "You know, Naomi dug in, Naomi Kelly, the former City Administrator. You know, they were very angry about us blowing the whistle."
"Once the pandemic hit they didn't give us bathrooms prior to the pandemic," said Foglio-Ramirez. "But, once all the businesses shut down then there was no place for the workers to go."
