Andrew Cuomo <a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/states\/new-york\/city-hall\/story\/2020\/03\/27\/state-orders-halt-to-nonessential-construction-1269370\">announced the immediate suspension Friday<\/a>, through April 19. San Francisco and Boston have implemented similar measures.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.accnj.org\/\">Associated Construction Contractors of New Jersey<\/a>, which represents contractor firms that employ thousands of union workers, urged the governor to keep construction sites open as well, pointing to how hard it was for the industry to bounce back after the 2008 recession.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe governor has adopted a thoughtful, balanced course of action. Our role is to support our members with all the information they need to keep job sites safe and functioning,\u201d said CEO Jack Kocsis in a statement to NJ Advance Media.<\/p>\n<p>He noted the industry \u201conly truly started emerging\u201d from the Great Recession in 2016, and believes that not dealing with an economic collapse is how to emerge from this global crisis in a matter of \u201cweeks or months, not years.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nj.com\/coronavirus\/2020\/03\/construction-hasnt-stopped-in-nj-despite-coronavirus-but-maybe-it-should-workers-say.html\">construction workers have growing concerns<\/a>, as do residents who live close to construction sites.<\/p>\n<p>A Hudson County woman said she\u2019s worried about her husband, a foreman who works at job sites around the state. Since the outbreak began, he has still reported to work almost every day, and few precautions are being taken.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLife is on pause. Everyone is being kept at home. Why are buildings still being built? It\u2019s alarming,\u201d she said, asking to keep her and her husband\u2019s name withheld out of fear of retaliation.<\/p>\n<p>Murphy has implored everyone in the state to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nj.com\/coronavirus\/2020\/03\/sorry-hanging-out-while-6-feet-apart-isnt-coronavirus-social-distancing-expert-says.html\">practice social distancing<\/a> and stay at least six feet away from each other, including those still reporting to work. And the contractors association is urging workers to stay safe by scheduling fewer workers on a shift, cleaning bathrooms and equipment, and keeping distance during breaks and lunch.<\/p>\n<p>This is virtually impossible at a construction site, the Hudson County woman said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey know they have to stand six feet away and wear their masks, but who\u2019s enforcing that? And you really think these guys are disinfecting every tool they use after every time? It\u2019s not realistic,&#8221; she said.<\/p>\n<p>She also said her husband has worked at job sites in the past few weeks that have no running water or hand sanitizer in the porto potty.<\/p>\n<p>But they don\u2019t want to complain, she conceded, both because he feels lucky to have a job and a culture of resilience in the construction industry.<\/p>\n<p>A Jersey City resident captured a photo of dozens of construction works gathering for their 45-minute morning meeting at the top of a construction project on Marin Boulevard.<\/p>\n<p>He\u2019s reached out to state and county officials to complain, but hasn\u2019t heard back.<\/p>\n<p>Workers who believe their employer is violating the executive order <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nj.gov\/health\/covid-19\/\">can file a report<\/a>. They can also contact their union, or ACCNJ, with the location of the site.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe cannot afford to have construction shut down because of negligent actions by some contractors that puts everyone at risk,\u201d Kocsis said.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Coronavirus hasn\u2019t stopped construction in N.J., though N.Y. has.
