Today, hundreds of our members are in Albany urging lawmakers to expand prevailing wage laws and increase labor standards on public and private projects throughout the state. Hardworking tradesmen and tradeswomen deserve fair wages across the board.

.Governor Kathy Hochul increasing labor standards is not just a BCTC issue, it's a labor movement issue. All honest work must be met with fair pay. We need to #Amend224a. Let's expand prevailing wage on private development and offsite construction and fabrication for public projects.

"This year we must amend and strengthen Labor Law 224-a, because when taxpayer dollars are used to subsidize construction projects, local workers should be hired and paid prevailing wages." - Harry B. Bronson, Labor Chair of the NY Assembly Majority

President LaBarbera says it best: "Paying honorable, family sustaining wages for skilled work should not be up for debate. Properly compensating hard working people and making the middle class accessible to everyone is an investment in our economy and overall future." #WeBuildNY

Last night, Andrew Cuomo broke through the noise and laid out a vision for a more affordable, safer New York City; one where the hard-working people who build up our neighborhoods have the opportunity to ascend to the middle class, raise a family in a stable home, and prosper.

.NY Senator Jessica Ramos is doing the right thing in endorsing Andrew Cuomo for Mayor. It shows she understands the former Governor the way we do: as a builder who gets the job done with union labor as a true partner. amny.com/politics/nyc-m…
