Granite cornerstone marks start of Freedom Tower at Ground Zero

NEW YORK -- Nearly three years after the twin towers fell, a 20-ton block of granite will be set in place today to mark the official start of construction on the 1,776-foot tower that will rise on the site of the World Trade Center

The Freedom Tower is set to rise 1,776 feet, a height meant to symbolize the year of America's independence. It will be the tallest skyscraper in the world.

It will be several months before progress is seen above street level, and five years until it is completed.

And I'm sure Local 3 will ensure that this project is done entirely with Union Labor.
Although an occasional Gambino sub may take residence there, I would assume that the electrical installation will be all IBEW!

"Union Burying Ground"

Woody Guthrie (1946)

I see they're lowering right new coffin,
I see they're letting down right new coffin,
Way over in that Union Burying Ground.
And the new dirt's falling on a right new coffin,
The new dirt's falling on a right new coffin,
Way over in that Union Burying Ground.
O, tell me who's that they're letting down, down,
Tell me who's that they're letting down, down,
Way over in that Union Burying Ground.
Another union organizer,
Another union organizer,
Way over in that Union Burying Ground.
A union brother and a union sister,
A union brother and a union sister,
Way over in that Union Burying Ground.
A union father and a union mother,
And union father and a union mother,
Way over in that Union Burying Ground.
Well, I'm going to sleep in a union coffin,
I'm going to sleep in a union coffin,
Way over in that Union Burying Ground.
Every new grave brings a thousand new ones,
Every new grave brings a thousand members,
Way over in that Union Burying Ground.
Every new grave brings a thousand brothers,
And every new grave brings a thousand sisters,
To the union in that Union Burying Ground.
