Hundreds Rally for Higher Wages
Hundreds Rally for Higher Wages
"NEW YORK -- Hundreds of New Yorkers rallied on the 43rd anniversary of Martin Luther King, Jr.'s assassination Monday night, calling for the passage of legislation aimed at raising wages for most workers at developments receiving public subsidies.
A group of more than 250 interfaith leaders, politicians, labor organizers and community members filled the Bethel Baptist Church in Brooklyn, while another 400 met at the Bronx Pentecostal Deliverance Center, to advocate for the Fair Wages for New Yorkers Act. The bill would mandate a $10 hourly wage -- or $11.50 without benefits -- at large, publicly-funded developments. Pay increases for workers at those sites would be tied to inflation to ensure their "living wage" status."
