City schools, unions OK jobs program - By Susan Snyder, Philadelphia Inquirer
Led by its chairman, James Nevels, the commission for the last 21/2 years has been trying to negotiate the agreement to open up unionized, better-paying jobs to its graduates. More than 80 percent of the district's students are minorities, about two-thirds of them black.
'Congratulations, young people, you're about to become union members!' Nevels said after the commission voted.
In an interview later, he said: 'We're going to create a new middle class in Philadelphia.'
Patrick Gillespie, building-trades council chief, also heralded the proposed agreement. Gillespie said he believed the Philadelphia proposal was unique in the United States. Apprentices would start at $20 to $40 an hour, depending upon the trade.------------------------------------------- posted 12:23 PM :: reference link ::
