The Bronx Terminal Market consists of numerous wholesalers who employ 700 workers and supply tens of thousands of New York City restaurants, bodegas and markets.  These mostly minority merchants, supplying hard-to-get ethnic goods to New York's new immigrant communities, have been evicted to make way for a "redevelopment" plan that will include big box stores.  The City has promised the merchants paltry compensation and has failed to offer a relocation plan where they can remain together, the only economically viable scenario.  Making matters worse, the new developer, the Related Companies, was awarded control of the property in a sweetheart deal without any type of competitive, open bidding process.
