Bill Proposes Wage Floor in NYC
(Crain’s) — A dispute over wages that derailed the redevelopment of the Kingsbridge Armory in the Bronx late last year is set to spread citywide: A bill to be introduced in the City Council on Tuesday would mandate wages of at least $10 an hour, plus benefits, for all jobs created by city-subsidized projects slated, according to a story to be published Monday in Crain’s New York Business.
The bill’s introduction will kick off a citywide push by a coalition of labor and community groups, spearheaded by the Retail Wholesale and Department Store Union, aimed at pressuring elected officials to ensure that city tax breaks create jobs paying nearly 40% more than the state’s minimum wage of $7.25.
