New York City – BCTC President Gary LaBarbera again has taken the lead to ensure NYC construction projects go union.
BCTC President Gary LaBarbera and New York City Office of Talent and Workforce Development Executive Director Doug Lipari has announce $7 billion in City Capital Projects will be completed by the Unionized Construction Industry.
This will ensure fair wages and community hiring opportunities on these 7 billoon dollar construction projects. These include renovation and rehabilitation of City-owned buildings, the construction of recreation centers, solar photovoltaic systems for public schools, water treatment facilities and libraries – as well as many other needed projects.
President Gary LaBarbera said: “In order for capital projects to reach their true economic potential, it is critical they generate family-sustaining careers for hard-working New Yorkers. PLAs like the ones signed in this agreement, help them to do just that and more by establishing fair wages, safety standards and community hiring initiatives that boost Apprenticeship opportunities and open up more pathways to the Middle Class. We are happy to collaborate with the Mayor’s Office and New York City Talent on these agreements and our Members look forward to being catalysts for these important projects that will improve the lives of countless New Yorkers.”
