Bruce Ratner becomes slave driver, makes Barclays Center construction workers work longer and on Saturdays

by Nigel Chiwaya on May 2, 2011

You may not have noticed it, but the Barclays Center, future home of the New Jersey Nets, is coming along quite nicely on Atlantic Avenue in Brooklyn. But apparently it’s not happening fast enough for Bruce Ratner, the project’s developer, as he’s set to make construction workers work longer hours and Saturdays for the next three months.

According to the Brooklyn Paper, workers will be on the job from 6am-4:30pm starting today. They’ll also show up for duty on Saturdays, working from 7am-5:30pm. The work that will be done includes installing various support pillars.

The Nets, of course, are scheduled to move into Brooklyn in time for the 2012 season.
