The Big Apple’s construction trades workers are still showing up for work — sometimes even while sick — putting new pressure on City Hall to close down job sites as it battles the spread of coronavirus, The Post has learned. When asked if the Mayor Bill de Blasio supports a construction moratorium, his spokeswoman Freddi Goldstein said in an email, “this is one of the many things we’re discussing. We’ll let you know as soon as we have update.” “Right now our contractors and union officials are tremendously conflicted,” Coletti said. “Our first priority is health and welfare of our project management staff and the building trade union workers, but in addition to that, there are concerns about the economic impact if job sites were to be shut down.”
