Prevailing Wages are not on the negotiating table, however #PovertyWages proposed by #REBNY for #Workers often of color in Communities of Color are; let’s stop the #CycleOfPoverty. Fix #421a or Forget it.
#421a debate in Albany includes setting wages for construction workers. At 2016 renewal, IBO found requiring prevailing wages increased total cost to build affordable housing by 23% and hard costs by 28%. (1/2) https://t.co/qREAseHrLX
I'm thrilled @NYCBldgTrades + @EquinorWindUS signed a construction agreement at the South Brooklyn Marine Terminal that ensures offshore wind in BK will be developed with union jobs that prioritize NYCHA tenants, veterans & Sunset Park residents.
The future's looking green.🟩
