Kaitlyn Schuster, representing SEIU Local 32BJ, expresses the union's recognition of the housing crisis and the constraints of the current land review process. However, she emphasizes that the Uniform Land Use Review Process (ULURP) is an important democratic institution for community and labor engagement with developers on projects shaping New York City.

Schuster states that SEIU Local 32BJ is concerned with proposed ULURP changes that would apply to all actions regardless of project size. The union has used ULURP to defend industry standard wages and benefits.
