De Blasio to drop Bloomberg’s prevailing wage suit

Gloria Pazmino

Mayor Bill de Blasio will announce today that he is dropping the city's challenge to a prevailing wage law passed by the City Council in 2012, officials told Capital.

The law, which was opposed by former mayor Michael Bloomberg, would raise wages for service workers in buildings and developments that receive substantial city subsidies or benefit from rent payments by the city.

Bloomberg vetoed the legislation when it was passed, and sued to stop its implementation after the Council voted to override his veto.

De Blasio had promised to implement the law as mayor, but had not yet taken the formal legal steps to end the city's suit in state court.

I'd been screwed more than a few times on PW. I was even asked to falsify my time sheets to avoid overtime pay.
Now that I'm back in PA, I hear that Gov Gasshole is trying to put in place someone that can determine what PW should be based on nothing but wishes and dreams.
