COMMUNITY NEWS GROUP • NYC WORKS • SEPT. 7, 2018 A7 NYC WORKS CELEBRATING LABOR IN THE BIG APPLE Labor in New York BY PHOEBE VAN BUREN The New York City Labor Movement has spanned more than four centuries, dating back to the 1600s. Over time, the key players have changed but the problems remain very much the same. It would be nearly impossible to put together an exhaustive list of all of movement’s events in The City That Never Sleeps, but we’ve compiled a brief history showing how workers have fought for their rights time and time again: 1882 Approximately 30,000 Knights of Labor convene at City Hall for an unoffi cial march that would become the city’s fi rst Labor Day Parade. The event 1 2 was held on a Tuesday, meaning that workers had to give up a day of wages to attend. Matthew and Pe- ter MacGuire proposed the day be named Labor Day to celebrate workers. The parade was held the following year, inspiring a campaign for the holiday across the country. 1894 Congress names the fi rst Monday of September Labor Day. 1909 Roughly 20,000 women, primarily Jewish, working in shirtwaist factories, walked out of the job in protest of unfair wages, working conditions, and hours, marking the fi rst mass strike by women in United States history. The following year, the women’s demands were met. 1911 A fi re broke out at the Triangle Shirtwaist Fac- tory in Greenwich Village, killing 146 garment workers after they became trapped in the building due to locked exits and only one fi re escape. The tragedy was one of the deadliest industrial disasters in American history. 1930s Folk singer Woody Guthrie performs at Webster Hall in support of union workers. 9 1954-1968 One million black workers enter the Congress of 1.

In December, city labor leaders announce they will support a New Year’s Day strike for a 20-hour work week. The city labor commissioner jump-starts negotiations to avoid a strike that may affect street- lights. 1964 City Council passes a bill that raises minimum wage to $1.50 an hour, boosting the paychecks of approximately 400,000 workers. In re- 3 4 turn, business owners sue, alleging that the pay raise is unconstitutional. 1965 Governor Nelson Rockefeller vetoes the $1.50 an hour wage, arguing that the raise would force businesses owners to take their work elsewhere. 1967 More than 6,000 handymen, elevator operators, porters, and custodians strike to protest building owners’ assertion that complying with union contracts would mean that they would have to raise rents. The strike affected 1,000 apartment buildings across the city. 1970 Letter carriers in Brooklyn and Manhattan walk out on the job, beginning the fi rst mass work stoppage in the history of the United States Post Offi ce Department. The strike grew to 210,000 employees, causing President Richard Nixon to declare a state of emergency and deploy the military to New York City post offi ces. 1971 Approximately 20,000 New York City police offi cers refuse to report for duty during the fi ve- day NYPD work stoppage after a lawsuit that would have increased pay for police and fi refi ghters is struck down. Offi cers said they would still 5 respond to serious crimes, but would not participate in regular patrolling duties. As a result, the city was patrolled by as few as 200 offi cers at some times. 1985 Roughly 14,000 workers from 45 hotels walk off the job to protest unfair wages in the fi rst walk- out in the history of the Hotel and Motel Trade Council of the AFL-CIO. 2005 Starting on Dec. 20, during the busiest shopping week of the year, New York City transit workers went on strike for two days, stopping most bus and subway service. This was a result of a breakdown in negotiations for a new contract over retirement, pension, and wage increases. 2016 Supporters of the “Fight for $15” campaign win big when a plan to raise the minimum wage 7 6 to $15 an hour is signed into law along with a 12- week paid family leave policy.

A10 COMMUNITY NEWS GROUP • NYC WORKS • SEPT. 7, 2018 New York City Brags About the Expansion of UPK, But…

New York City Must Provide Wage Parity for The City’s Public Center-Based Day Care and Head Start Employees

Employees working for public center-based early education centers are being cheated out of thousands of dollars of income over their careers by the City of New York. And the City is doing nothing about it. For years these dedicated public day care and Head Start employees have made exceptional sacrifi ces to work in their profession. The City’s response has been to pay them tens of thousands of dollars less than their public school counterparts, even though they are mandated to hold the same education and state education credentials. These employees have provided high quality early childhood education services to New York City’s children and toddlers for nearly two generations. The City has created a multi-tier wage disparity program with Early Learn, Head Start and UPK teachers and other staff earning disparate and lower wages, it seems, because the majority of employees are women and women of color – and many are heads of households. This not happening in Alabama or Mississippi. This is happening in progressive New York City. In fact, a retention crisis has developed in many centers caused by the lack of wage parity. Early childhood education staff earn their credentials and often leave for the public schools. Across the city many centers experience inordinate turnover rates when staff leave the jobs they love for better paying jobs in public schools or other career opportunities. It is the children who suffer because staff retention is necessary for young minds to fl ourish. The toll on staff and families in these communities-in-need is also particularly painful. It is discrimination at its lowest form. The City of New York cannot pretend to ignore it anymore. New York City must act now to end this thoughtless crisis in child care by providing necessary funding for salary/benefi t increases to the staff at the unionized nonprofi t early childhood education centers across the city. The time for change is now!
