Steph Curry's off-court business, Thirty Ink, recently announced it was withdrawing from an $8.5 million property purchase in Dogpatch, San Francisco. The abrupt decision stemmed from a conflict regarding union labor commitments with the Carpenters Local Union. Thirty Ink planned to employ a 40% union workforce, which they believed would be sufficient, but the union deemed this unacceptable. In response to the cancellation, union representatives expressed a desire for Curry's project to meet higher labor standards, echoing the complete commitment Curry offers in his basketball career.
Our dream of building a new Thirty Ink HQ at 600 20th Street has been destroyed by the Carpenters Local Union and the project is being cancelled effective immediately, Thirty Ink spokesperson Michael Smith said in a 3:44 pm Thursday email.
Unfortunately, our generous and completely unnecessary approach has been deemed unacceptable. Less than two hours later, SFist received a statement from the Nor Cal Carpenters Union.
When Steph Curry walks on the basketball court he doesn't give 40 percent effort, he gives 100 percent. The working men and women of the Nor Cal Carpenters Union expects that Mr. Curry's nonprofit give that same 100 percent.
We look forward to the opportunity to work with Mr. Curry and Thirty Ink to ensure they retain contractors that respect Carpenter labor standards in San Francisco.
