Building A Better Model For Construction Wages - By Jarrett Murphy, CityLimits.org
Elly Spicer, a field representative for the New York and Vicinity Carpenters Labor Management Corporation— a nonprofit partnership between the Carpenters Union and union contractors that works on issues important to both labor and management—says that more than 50 percent of Carpenters and Laborers in the city are non-white. James Parrott, deputy director and chief economist at the Fiscal Policy Institute, says the unions of the future will be even less white. 'More than two-thirds of apprentices in the Carpenters Union today in New York City are men and women of color,' he says. 'To say that prevailing wage laws hurt minorities is bizarre.'------------------------------------------- posted 6:58 AM :: reference link ::
