Melissa, SEIU 32BJ, Make the Road New York, National Employment Law Project (NELP) and several of her Council colleagues held a rally this morning, announcing the re-introduction of prevailing wage legislation from last term.

Melissa speaking to 32BJ members and supporters.

Intro 18, which was introduced this afternoon’s stated meeting, will require a prevailing wage for building service employees that are working in buildings that receive subsidies or rent payments from the City.

Melissa has been a strong advocate for tying our city’s tax dollars to good, quality jobs that will help New York City families to move into the middle class.

Stay tuned to the blog for updates on this and other legislation.
