BUILDING BLOCKED: NYCHA RESIDENTS WANT THEIR JOBS By Ruth Ford, CityLimits.org
One year after a coalition of community groups, trade unions and public housing residents signed a historic agreement with the New York City Housing Authority to make way for the hiring of public housing residents on the agency’s construction sites, the authority still has not put tenants to work.
Members of the coalition, known as Trade Unions & Residents for Apprenticeship Development (TRADES), are now asking the City Council to compel NYCHA to live up to its agreement. Brooklyn Councilmember Diana Reyna, who chairs the subcommittee on public housing, will be holding a public hearing on June 9 on the agreement. The goals of the hearing are twofold, said Reyna’s chief of staff, Karl Camillucci: “Number one, it’s to educate tenants about the pre-apprenticeship program, and, two, to come up with a way that satisfies everyone’s interest in having the program move along to meet its objectives.”------------------------------------------- posted 6:50 AM :: reference link ::
