Two construction workers caught by The Post last week slamming down beers and shots while on a lunch break from rebuilding Ground Zero were booted from their jobs yesterday.
The men, whose names have not been released, were identified by the contractor running the construction job based on Post photos taken inside a Murray Street bar popular with the Ground Zero hardhats.
“We have a zero-tolerance policy for alcohol and drugs on the job, and the workers we identified were terminated,” said Port Authority spokesman Stephen Sigmund. “And if we can identify any others, they will be terminated, too.”
Phoenix Constructors, which is in charge of the building of the World Trade Center’s transit hub, identified the workers as their employees and fired them, Sigmund said.
Phoenix and other contractors at Ground Zero, including Bovis Lend Lease and Tishman Construction, warned their crews yesterday about drinking and drugs on the job.
