The video shows Pulte representatives out of control. Frustrated at workers demonstrating for justice at construction sites within their developments, Pulte assaults them with high-pressure water from Pulte water trucks.

Workers demanding justice from Pulte, Del Webb, and Divosta construction subcontractors were shocked when the well-know homebuilder began directing its water truck drivers to repeatedly douse workers with high-pressure water. Workers, with dripping clothes and soggy shoes, maintained their calm and continued their peaceful demonstration even as they counted up to 16 separate water assaults in one day. Israel Hernandez, a painter who worked on hundreds of Pulte and Del Webb homes in the Phoenix area, paused while wiping water from the video camera lens, remarking, "This wasn't what we meant when we ask for drinking water on the job site."
