Pulte Homes Attacks Picketing Workers with Water Truck

On Friday, June 22nd, a group of construction workers released shocking video footage of Phoenix’s largest homebuilder hosing down picketers at a worksite in Florence, Arizona. The video, posted on YouTube at, shows Pulte Homes’ representatives out of control, frustrated at workers demonstrating at construction sites within their developments due to poor working conditions, and the Pulte drivers assaulting the protesters with high-pressure water from Pulte’s own water trucks.

The Building Justice campaign is seeking to improve working conditions and pay at Pulte and its subcontractors, and the Sheet Metal Workers and Painters unions, with the support of the AFL-CIO, are focusing their efforts in Arizona and Nevada.
