MEDIA ADVISORY FOR DECEMBER 14th and 15th

Homeowners Working People and Communities— One Message: Pulte Homes Corporation, Stop Foreclosing on the American Dream

Los Angeles, CA (October 8, 2009) – Residential construction workers in California, Nevada and Arizona will receive $241,301 in unpaid wages after settling a lawsuit against SelectBuild, a subsidiary of BMHC Corp., once the nation’s largest residential construction contractor which supplied labor corporate homebuilding giants such as Pulte Homes.

The lawsuit alleged SelectBuild systematically failed to pay workers for hours they worked, did not pay overtime rates and kept workers off-the-clock while traveling between jobsites and waiting for materials to arrive. Today workers joined LIUNA in a press conference at the U.S. District Court in Los Angeles to announce the settlement.

Washington, DC (September 24, 2009) – A U.S. District Court today denied Pulte Homes’ request for an injunction to stop LIUNA members from supporting construction workers for the nation’s largest homebuilder, who were fired by Pulte after wearing LIUNA orange t-shirts and asking to be paid for the hours they worked.

Pulte filed requests for a Temporary Restraining Order and Preliminary Injunction after nearly 20,000 LIUNA members across North America fought back on behalf of the fired workers by calling and writing Pulte offices. The efforts of LIUNA members were also supported with radio ads in Michigan, where Pulte is headquartered.
