Labor leaders have repeatedly
reached out to the organizers of Frieze New York and their local events
coordinator, Project Glue, LLC without response. The unions have demanded that
the New York City Parks Department look into altering the permitting process
for major private events in order to better evaluate labor standards. Last
week, a hearing was held to shed light on the festival’s use of public park
space at Randall’s Island and its consequences for New York City residents and
workers.
The rally will coincide with the fair’s invitation-only VIP
preview. Here are the rally details you need to know:
