That’s how much a company that’s been accused of ignoring workers’ rights sent to de Blasio’s campaign just five days after their paid lobbyist snagged a coveted phone chat with Deputy Mayor Alicia Glen.

WeWork, a company that provides office space across the city, paid lobbyist Global Strategy Group Jan. 1 to press the mayor on unspecified “procurement” issues, records show.

Global’s Jon Silvan got right to work, and on Jan. 6 he was able to get the extremely busy Glen, who is running de Blasio’s much-touted affordable housing program, to take his call, the mayor’s office confirmed Saturday.

During the call, Silvan pitched “future projects” WeWork wants to do with the city.

Two days later, on Jan. 8, WeWork Vice President Arana Hankin began collecting 19 checks totaling $68,750 for de Blasio’s 2017 reelection bid.

Ongoing probes of de Blasio’s fund-raising tactics are focused on multiple issues, including whether any of his donors got anything in return for raising or donating big bucks to the mayor.

On Friday, de Blasio spokesman Austin Finan confirmed the chat between WeWork’s lobbyist and Glen and said it “was held to discuss potential future projects.” He declined to discuss the bundled checks.

Hizzoner hinted at the federal and criminal probes buzzing around his and his allies fundraising efforts and stood by his belief that the investigations are purely political in nature.

“Now, brothers and sisters, guess what, when you do something different, opposition emerges,” de Blasio told a packed house at the National Action Network’s Harlem headqauarters. “The voices of the status quo find many, many ways to undermine progress, to stand in the way of progress, but we will not be held back.

“We’ll keep moving forward and I need your help to do that,” he added.

Don Peebles, whose real estate company owned a building they later got city approval to turn into condos, told DNAinfo New York that in March 2014 he received a call from the mayor asking him to contribute the money to the nonprofit, now called the Campaign for One New York.

Federal and state investigators are probing whether the nonprofit illegally raised funds and if contributors got favors from the city in exchange for their donation.

“He asked me for a specific dollar amount,” Peebles, who’s a possible 2017 mayoral candidate, said during an interview in his Fifth Avenue offices Monday.

Even though he believed universal pre-K was important and wanted to support the cause, Peebles, a past de Blasio fundraiser, said he was wary about the call.

“It’s hard for a business person who has business interests in New York City to tell the mayor no, especially real estate developers,” Peebles said.

The developer isn’t the only person de Blasio hit up for money.

One person in the real estate industry who Peebles introduced to de Blasio for fundraising purposes, but who declined to be interviewed because they have business before the city, called Peebles after de Blasio asked for $50,000 for his effort to win back the Senate.

“We believed it was illegal,” said Richard Schaffer, head of the Suffolk Democrats.

Schaffer says because the money was meant for Esposito, it was an attempt to evade contribution limits, the same violation a state Board of Elections official says Mayor Bill de Blasio’s team committed in directing money to three upstate races around the same time.

“The fact that he told me, ‘We want you to spend it directly on Adrienne Esposito,’ that makes it illegal,” Schaffer said.

Schaffer says he told the union no thanks, but got a check anyway, for $100,000. His committee rejected it, writing, “we are unable to deposit your check and are compelled to return it to you.”

“They were annoyed,” Schaffer said.

Much like de Blasio now, the union, New York State United Teachers, insisted the move was legal and told NY1 it has a longstanding record of meticulously adhering to the law.
