Support Ashraful for recovery and other expenses
Donation protected
On Monday, December 28, at a worksite in Sunset Park, Brooklyn, a wall fell and killed Jasim Mia and severely injured Ashraful Hasan. Both the workers were immigrants of Bangladeshi origin and longtime active members of our Bangladeshi community. Ashraful Hasan is an active DRUM member for over 2 years, and Jasim was the cousin of a DRUM member.
The subcontractor and the contractor on the worksite, who hired Jasim and Ashraful, worked without a license, as well as performed work on the wall without a permit. They also tried to repair the damaged retaining wall without a shoring wall in order to save money and increase their profit. The contractor provided no supervision or guidance to ensure the job was done safely and securely.
The greed for more profits killed Jasim, and has left Ashraful severely injured, and certainly unable to work ever again.
As usual, the business owners gather together to protect each other and to protect their profits. They make false promises of ‘insurance money’ and ‘disability benefits’ to the families and tell them not to talk to anyone else, and especially not to DRUM or any workers organizations.
We are raising funds to support Ashraful Hasan for his recovery and needs, because he will very likely be unable to work ever again. He will also not be able to access most sources of public benefits as a result of his immigration status. 100% of the funds raised will go as cash to Ashraful Hasan.
