Starbucks workers and supporters chanted and held signs in front of the Starbucks store in The New York Times building on Eighth Avenue in support of a daylong strike in November 2022. Despite the fact that the first Starbucks store unionized just over two years ago, the union has not yet reached a contract agreement with the coffee chain.

For nascent unions, the fight for a first contract is often a lengthy one

More than 380 Starbucks locations and 9,000 employees across the country have unionized since a store in Buffalo became the coffee giant’s first branch to join Starbucks Workers United in December 2021. None of them have gotten a contract so far.

Despite successful union campaigns at national companies including Amazon, Apple and Trader Joe’s over the last two years, none of those nascent unions have been able to settle a collective bargaining agreement. They’re not alone: just 36 percent of new unions reach their first labor agreement within a year of unionizing, according to research by Kate Bronfenbrenner, the director of labor education research at Cornell University’s School of Industrial and Labor Relations. Within three years, 66 percent of unions manage to secure a first contract.

For Steven Buckley, a sales specialist who has worked at the REI store in Soho since September 2021, at first, their union victory in March of the following year created a sense of exuberance and community among his colleagues. But that feeling quickly changed when the self-styled progressive company’s alleged anti-union tactics — which

Buckley said had abated after the workers’ victory — began again.

In November, the union filed 80 unfair labor-practice complaints with the National Labor Relations Board on behalf of workers at the unionized stores. The grievances allege that the company has unilaterally changed working conditions, including by reducing workers’ hours, retaliated against pro-union employees and delayed bargaining on their first contract. Buckley noted that workers at his store are no longer eligible to participate in the outdoor goods company’s profit sharing plan, “which the company does everywhere but here.”

against with labor organizers. Since then, negotiations have stalled, according to the REI Union.

“I don’t think we’ve reached a single tentative agreement, and that’s part of the 80 bad-faith bargaining clauses we’ve filed with the NLRB. It’s incredibly frustrating,” Buckley told The Chief. “They’re counting on the fact that the NLRB is overrun and it’ll be so long until we can get legal recourse they can just break the law.”

First contracts, Buckley stated, “aren’t really a question of bargaining — they’re a question of power.”

In a statement, REI said that it “disagrees with the union’s contentions and will continue to fight their allegations. We are committed and ‘A question of power’ engaged in good-faith bargaining Eight out of REI’s 180 stores have with stores that have chosen union joined the United Food and Com- representation and will continue to mercial Workers International participate fully in the negotiating Union and Retail, Wholesale and process.”

FDNY first responders are hammering the MTA’s congestion pricing plan, arguing that the $15 toll it will cost them to report to their stations and firehouses within Manhattan’s Central Business District will harm their morale and wallets and, ultimately, impede critical services.

“Congestion pricing for FDNY EMS is like rubbing salt in this huge wound we have that’s never been given a chance to heal,” said Anthony Almojera, a lieutenant paramedic and vice president of the Uniformed EMS Officers union. “Not only are we the lowest paid 9-1-1 first responders but now we’re getting this other tax on us.”

Almojera warned that if the toll is implemented, many of the 400 EMTs, paramedics and officers headquartered within the zone will request transfers to other parts of the city or will leave the service entirely at a time when it is already understaffed, even as call volumes have ballooned. The stations are at Bellevue Hospital in Kips Bay, in Chelsea and the Lower East Side.

The fee could add up to around $4,000 a year for members of FDNY EMS — most of whom make less than $60,000 yearly — if they were to drive in for 260 shifts during the hours that the full fee is in effect.

“Of course, this is a burden for the members who work there, most of whom don’t live in lower Manhattan so they have to drive in with their equipment,” Almojera added.

‘You should be worried’ Barzilay and Almojera said that many of their members who work within the CBD live in Rockland County, New Jersey, eastern Long Island and even Pennsylvania, and drive in their gear and uniforms in personal vehicles. Transporting that equipment on public transit would be yet another burden for the workforce, they say, and paying for public transit would add another cost for membership.

The two leaders are asking for an exemption to the fee for their members or a discount on public transit fares but so far, the Traffic Mobility Review Board, which produced the congestion pricing recommendations, and the MTA have been hesitant to grant exceptions, arguing that there are few exemptions for tolling on the city’s bridges and tunnels.

“There are no reasons why public employees any more than private employees should be exempt from paying for using their private vehicles to come into the Central Business District,” Carl Weisbrod, See CONGESTION, page 2

fire protection inspectors, agrees that the fee would lead to an exodus. “It simply won’t make sense for people to come work here anymore,” he said. “This will be a group of people who love their jobs but can’t afford it anymore. This is a crisis.”

In a statement, an MTA spokesperson said that “ambulances and other emergency vehicles are exempt by law, and emergency response times are expected to improve with less traffic in the currently heavily congested roadways in Manhattan’s Central Business District.”

A tentative deal reached last week between 32BJ SEIU and the board representing building owners, managers and cleaning companies averted a strike by 20,000 commercial cleaners and other workers that was set to begin Jan. 1.

The provisional four-year agreement, reached Dec. 28 following a marathon negotiating session between the union’s bargaining committee and the Realty Advisory Board on Labor Relations, would let the workers keep their employer-paid health benefits, a provision the union had insisted on but which RAB had said as recently as two weeks ago was unsustainable.

Average annual pay increases according to the deal come to just over 3 percent, which would provide the workers weekly raises of $149 over their current salary

by the conclusion of the contract. The union’s rank and file will be voting on the deal in the coming weeks.

“It is fitting that we are closing out a year marked by worker mobilization with a victory for 20,000 working New Yorkers who form the backbone of this city’s economy and commercial real estate market,” the union’s president, Manny Pastreich, said in a statement.

RAB’s president, Howard Rothschild, also hailed the pact.

“We’re proud to come to an agreement that reflects the economic realities that commercial real estate faces by creating the flexibility the industry needs to survive for the long-term. Thank you to Manny Pastreich and the entire 32BJ team for working with us to find solutions that will benefit our workers and our industry,” he said.

The deal preserves the current bargaining unit, forestalling the creation of a “second-tier” workforce that See CONTRACT, page 6

Local government has shrunk: report

BY CRYSTAL LEWIS

clewis@thechiefleader.com

The number of local government employees in the state outside of New York City has fallen more than in the rest of the country, a report from the state comptroller’s office found.

Between 2007 and 2022, the number of local government employees in New York, excluding those in the city, declined by nearly 8 percent, to 452,298 full-time workers from 491,102. Nationally, local governments saw a 2-percent decline on average during the same period, according to the report. Full-time employees represent 80 percent of the local government workforce.

The report from Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli’s office attributed the decrease to two major upheavals: the 2007-2009 Great Recession and the pandemic. While the number of full-time local government employees peaked at 509,000 in 2009, that number had fallen to 446,000 by 2018.

“While this pattern was similar to the national trend, New York experienced more year-over-year volatility and a longer period of overall decline,” the comptroller’s office stated.

The number of workers started to rebound in 2019, reaching 459,000 one year later, but declined during the pandemic as local governments lost staff.

“We all rely on local government employees for essential services such as education, public safety, health care, and much more,” DiNapoli said in a statement. “But

local governments were hard hit by two major events, most recently the pandemic, that have taken their toll on staffing levels. Local officials must continue to meet the difficult task of balancing their budgets while making certain they have the staff in place to ensure critical services are there for their residents.”

The number of employees working in school districts — the largest local employer in 2022, accounting for 60 percent of the total local workforce — decreased by 4.5 percent.

During the 2020-2021 school year, about 330 school districts reduced staff through layoffs or furloughs, which the comptroller attributed to delays in state and federal coronavirus funding.

The number of employees in public hospitals and the welfare sector saw the sharpest decline, each losing about a quarter of their workforce. Much of those losses occurred before the pandemic, the report noted. The number of local government employees working in the welfare sector decreased from 23,190 to 17,471 while those working in public hospitals and health fields dropped from 21,741 to 16,381.

Local police departments also saw steep declines, with the number of employees shrinking by more than 16 percent. Police officers saw the smallest drop, at 12 percent, while civilian employees shrank by a substantial 32 percent. These decreases occurred even though police officers were the highest paid title in local government, earning an average annual salary of $112,249.

Adjusting for inflation, correc-

Local government workers outside of New York City saw their numbers shrink by 8 percent since the start of the 2007 recession, the state comptroller’s office found. Although their numbers started to rebound, the pandemic set back that growth. Local hospitals, welfare agencies and police departments experienced the greatest decline. tions employees and public hospital workers saw the highest salary growth during the 15-year period — 21.8 and 7.3 percent, respectively — while higher education workers saw their salaries decline by 2.8 percent.

DiNapoli said that although the number of local government employees is starting to rebound, “there remains a level of uncertainty as to what future workforce numbers will look like, especially as federal pandemic relief payments phase out.

“In order to provide quality services,” he continued, “local governments need to invest in attracting and retaining talented and diverse personnel to supply them.”

AGREEMENT: The fight for a first contract is often lengthy Continued from Page 1 agreeing to a first contract. The law just doesn’t require a first agreement,” said Harry Katz, the Jack Sheinkman Professor of Collective Bargaining at Cornell ILR. “The NLRB can make a ruling that management hasn’t bargained in good faith, but as long as the employer shows they’ve listened, not even that they’ve compromised,” it’s difficult to prove, he added.

Changes proposed Legislation has been proposed to strengthen workers’ ability to obtain contracts. The Protecting the Right to Organize Act, or PRO Act, would require employers whose workers have recently unionized to meet at the bargaining table no more than 10 days following a request for collective bargaining, and would also allow workers or their employers to request mediation if an agreement hasn’t been reached more than 90 days after bargaining has commenced.

But the bill faces an uphill battle to become law: it passed the House of Representatives in 2021 but died in the Senate. The current version passed in the Senate Labor Committee and has been referred to the House Committee on Education and the Workforce.

“Even some moderate Democrats weren’t willing to go along with the PRO Act,” Katz told The Chief. “The business community would fight it tooth and nail in the current political climate.”

The REI retail store in Manhattan’s Soho neighborhood. More than 100 retail workers voted in March 2022 to form a union, the first unionized store for the Seattle-based outdoor clothing and sports equipment co-op retail chain.

Ellen Dichner, a distinguished lecturer in labor studies at CUNY School of Labor and Urban Studies, who was chief counsel to the chairman of the NLRB during the Obama administration, noted that the board has recently implemented changes to make reaching a contract a reality for more workers.

“The NLRB issued a decision a

couple of months ago that if a union requests recognition but an employer declines and then commits an unfair labor practice, the board can issue a bargaining order — that can speed up the bargaining process,” she told The Chief. “But the remedy is so weak, it’s truly meaningless.…

If you don’t get a union contract within a year, it’s extremely demor-

alizing for the workers.”

Dichner also noted that the board is looking to overturn the 1970 ExCell-O case, which limited the NLRB’s powers to impose financial penalties on employers that refuse to come to the bargaining table.

“One of the things being looked at now are stronger punishments for employers that are refusing to

bargain. That would be a significant remedy,” she said, although she indicated that imposing financial penalties would likely not have much impact on powerful companies such as Amazon and Starbucks.

The NLRB has found that Starbucks has violated federal labor laws in its fight against the union’s efforts more than 40 times. Last month, the NLRB urged Starbucks to reopen 23 stores that employees alleged were closed due to union activity. And two weeks ago, an administrative law judge at the NLRB issued the company a cease-and-desist order. “It appears that in many instances violating the National Labor Relations Act has become standard operating procedure for Starbucks,” the order notes.

But in an about-face, a Starbucks executive vice president, Sara Kelly, sent a letter last month to Lynne Fox, the president of Workers United, stating the company’s commitment to reach a contract this year. “We will set as an ambition and hopeful goal the completion of bargaining and the ratification of contracts in 2024,” Kelly wrote her counterpart Dec. 8.

Fox said that the union would review the letter, adding, “Anything that moves bargaining forward in a positive way is most welcome.”

Despite the drawn-out process, Buckley believed that he and his colleagues at REI would prevail in their contract push. “We will get a first contract, and we’ll get one when workers force REI to realize there’s no choice,” he said.

the TMRB chair, said at that board’s Nov. 30 meeting. “For every exemption that is granted, it not only forces up the base toll on everyone else but also the more exemptions that are granted the more that other people will say ‘you granted an exemption to them you didn’t grant an exemption for me,’ it does create a sense of unfairness.”

Andy Ansbro, president of the Uniformed Firefighters Association, said that some members who work at the 28 fire stations within the congestion pricing zone have already been requesting transfers to other firehouses to avoid the fee.

Around 1,000 firefighters and officers work in these stations, Ansbro said, adding that many veteran firefighters will depart these firehouses, leaving busy firehouses with firefighters who have comparatively little experience.

“All of these lower Manhattan firehouses are going to be staffed with as many young firefighters as possible — the ones that can least afford this new fee — because the

senior members aren’t going to take this pay cut to stay there,” he said.

“If you live in lower Manhattan, you should be worried.”

Ansbro said that his members will respond to the congestion fee by taking public transit to work and between firehouses, a practice that would align with the stated goals of the MTA: decreasing congestion on the city’s streets and increasing public transit ridership. But firefighters often travel with their 60–70-pound gear bags that, without a car, they will have to carry on public transit when going between firehouses.

“It will take them longer to get from firehouse to firehouse and when they get there, they’re not going to be ready to report to work after a one-hour march with an 80-pound bag,” Ansbro argued.

And firefighters’ gear can get exposed to carcinogenic materials in the course of the job, he said, so bringing those materials on public transit could harm the public.

“The public really doesn’t want to be exposed to these things,” said the union leader.

Felony assaults on NYPD cops spiked in 2023 Union officials blame progressive lawmakers

BY RICHARD KHAVKINE

richardk@thechiefleader.com

Assaults on police officers spiked last year, and some police officials are blaming what they say are increasingly liberal criminal-justice laws.

According to the NYPD, 2,235 officers were the victims of felony assaults last year, 18.5 percent more than the 1,885 cops similarly assaulted in 2022, the department said.

“A message has been sent since 2019 by many of our elected officials in the City Council, in Albany and the Senate and the Assembly that it’s OK to assault the cop. It’s OK to disrespect the cop. It’s OK to do whatever you want to law enforcement,” the president of the Detectives Endowment Association, Paul DiGiacomo, said at the union’s Tribeca headquarters following a Dec. 15 unveiling of a memorial wall honoring detectives killed in the line of duty.

“We go out there every day, we put our lives on the line, and there’s pure anarchy out there…. I blame that all on our politicians that cre-

ated these laws that are ineffective and embold the criminal element.

You have to reverse these laws and make law and order a priority.”

The president of the Lieutenants Benevolent Association, Lou Turco said that while police will often find and arrest those who assault cops, it’s the little that happens next that’s problematic.

“When you assault an officer, the New York City detectives, who are the best in the world, will find you.

They will bring you to justice. That’s where it gets lost. What does justice look like after they bring him to the court system? It gets lost,” he said at the DEA event.

He noted that one of his lieutenants was injured after being jumped by several persons when he tried to break up a fight on a subway train in November.

Lieutenant Gypsy Pichardo of Transit District 3, responding to a fight on a northbound 1 train at the 238th Street station in Kingsbridge, the Bronx, on Nov. 11, was jumped and stomped on by at least two of several people who had been brawling. Pichardo took eight stitches above his eye to close a cut and suffered other injuries. According to the Bronx District Attorney’s office, he still had trouble walking five

weeks after the incident.

Two Westchester men, both 24, were arraigned Dec. 19 on numerous charges, including first-degree assault, assault on a police officer and second-degree gang assault, in connection with the incident.

“Luckily, he got out of there without major injuries to himself,” Turco said of Pichardo. “But what happens after that? That’s where we’re missing this whole discussion. We need to take a deep dive into finding out after detectives bring him to justice, which they did with my lieutenant, what happens with these individuals?”

The two men, Brian Innocent, of New Rochelle, and Marquise Webb, of Yonkers, are due back in court on Feb. 27.

“It’s not like ‘Blue Bloods’” Speaking after the DEA event, Turco said the increase in assaults on cops is a consequence of a City Council that has little understanding of police work.

“It’s not like ‘Blue Bloods,’ ” he said referring to the police procedural. “It’s not like these tv shows where everybody’s compliant…. Resisting arrest is ugly. It’s ugly business. Any cop that goes to work, his goal is not to touch anybody. That’s the goal of a cop. A good cop doesn’t want to touch anybody. You want complete compliance, because once you touch people, you get hurt.”

Discussing crime statistics through the third quarter in early October, NYPD Chief of Crime Control Strategies Michael LiPetri noted that a year-over-year increase in felony assaults through Oct. 1 was being driven in large part by an increase in assaults on cops. “The two categories of the felony assaults that are driving that increase is domestic felony assaults and assaults on police officers,” he said during an Oct. 4 press briefing.

The president of the Police Benevolent Association, Patrick Hendry, at the time blamed the increase on “anti-police activists – many of them on the public payroll,” who he said had “normalized violent resistance against police officers.”

For the year, felony assaults are up 6 percent.

631 officers boost thinning NYPD ranks But Adams rebukes new ‘paperwork’ law

BY RICHARD KHAVKINE

richardk@thechiefleader.com

The NYPD welcomed 631 rookie cops to its ranks last week, but this latest recruit class is likely to be the next-to-last for as long as a year or more.

The Adams administration in November announced the cancellation of five NYPD academy classes as part of municipal budget cuts made necessary by spending connected to the influx of immigrants to the city, the drying up of federal Covid subsidies and the resolution of collective bargaining agreements.

A class of 600 recruits began their six-month academy training Oct. 25.

Mayor Eric Adams, speaking to the new officers during their Dec. 29 graduation ceremony at the Theater at Madison Square Garden, recalled his own time first with the city’s Transit Police Department and then with the NYPD. Adams, counseling them “to ignore the noise,” alluded to a bill passed Dec. 20 by the City Council in its last meeting of the year that will require officers to detail their interactions with persons during all “investigative encounters,” in-

cluding those that did not require suspicion of criminal activity. Critics of the legislation, which passed with a veto-proof majority, said it will unnecessarily tie up officers with paperwork.

Proponents, though, said it would improve and increase police accountability and transparency.

Adams, fiercely opposed to the bill’s provisions, said the Council’s action could impede officers’ ability to properly police the city. Council members, he told the new cops, “believe you should not have the empowerment you need.”

“Instead of patrolling, they want you to do paperwork,” he continued.

Speaking outside the City Hall gates just before the Council’s Dec. 20 vote, the president of the Police Benevolent Association, Patrick Hendry, warned that the new law could contribute to more officer departures from a department already stretched thin.

“Every New York City Council member needs to understand we are short thousands of police officers and hundreds are quitting and retiring every month,” he said, obliging those still on the force to work significant amounts of overtime. “And that’s still not enough,” he added, noting that response times to police emergencies were increasing.

“It will bury our police officers’ heads in paperwork,” Hendry said.

Gallup polls indicate that 67 percent of Americans believe the economy is poor. I guess they forgot what poor looks like. In 2008, the stock market lost half its value, along with retirement plans and home values. Many mortgages were upside-down and foreclosures were commonplace.

An estimated $13 trillion was lost by the American people and nearly a million lost their jobs each month.

Today, employment and the market are at record levels.

Again, the media and partisanship play a factor into this disconnect; 72 percent of Democrats approve of Joe Biden’s handling of the Michael J. Gorman economy, yet only 3 percent of Republicans do. As for the media, they talk nonstop about inflation, even Phantoms and mirages though it fell precipitously, and they To the editor: have been “predicting” a non-exisIt is apparent that America has tent recession for over two years.

I’d like to ask Michael As an example, Asher wrote “My Gorman what he thinks about the neighbors never post on NextDoor United States dropping the A-bomb el for killing an estimated 20,000 people in Gaza, 70 percent of them women and children?

Is it antisemitic to call Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his cabinet indiscriminate killers for their utter disregard for the lives of Palestinian non-combatants and equating all Palestinians with the Hamas killers?

The answer to these questions is an unequivocal “No.” But, as some journalists have correctly said, Israel is the third rail of political and journalistic discourse. The thought of threatening Israel with cutting off all military aid unless they stop the slaughter is something no public person wants to touch, although that is exactly what President Biden and Secretary of State Antony Blinken should be saying right now.

Israel has a right to defend itself, but it does not have the right to commit genocide on the people of Gaza, even when Hamas is embedded with the Palestinians.

on Nagasaki and Hiroshima. How many innocent people were killed to save American soldiers‘ lives in a prolonged war. Is Israel any different? If Israel gave in to a ceasefire, we all know Hamas will regroup and re-arm and attack Israel again and again. Hamas must be totally eradicated.

Norman Rosenfeld

Divisions To the editor: The Israel-Palestine war has divided the city in a way that has few precedents. There have been hundreds of protests on the streets and on college campuses, either in support of Israel or in support of Palestine.

In 2024, New Yorkers should consider the following questions. Will Israel continue to carry out indiscriminate bombing of civilians which is a war crime? Will the Biden administration reconsider its unconditional military support of Israel after Secretary of State Blinken assured Congress, “It is incumbent on all countries to employ munitions [which we sell] consistent with international humanitarian laws”?

Will the Biden administration stop backing Israel’s right-wing extremist government given its vehement rejection of a two-state solution, a decades-long policy objective of the United States?

Finally, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that the war would continue for “many more months” until victory. Does victory include not only the destruction of Hamas and the release of hostages, but also the forcing of millions of Palestinians to leave Gaza and to leave the West Bank?

A motley assortment

BY RICHARD WARREN More than two years after marijuana was legalized in New York State, only 27 businesses have been licensed. Yet Queens City Councilwoman Lynn Schulman supports cracking down on unlicensed shops.

The shop that I have bought from has a sign saying “No entry if you’re under 21” and checks younger people’s IDs. The smoke I’ve gotten is excellent. Yet Schulman complains that unlicensed shops “sell unregulated products to underaged youth.”

Schulman also favors the new law that allows for landlords to be fined for renting stores to smoke shop operators. The fact that Schulman is a self-style progressive does not make her any less unreasonable.

On another dope note, The Colorado Supreme Court rightly ruled,

by a 4-3 vote, that Donald Trump should not be on the state’s primary ballot. They ruled based on him leading an insurrection, which disqualifies him according to the 14th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.

This would not have been necessary if President Biden’s Justice Department had indicted and gotten a conviction of Trump for insurrection. But indictments of Trump only started this year, and so far none have been for insurrection.

Now I doubt the U.S. Supreme Court, consisting of six Republicans, half of whom were nominated

by Trump, will uphold the Colorado decision. But if two Republicans were to side with Democrats to uphold this, they would do more to stop Trump than Biden’s Justice Department has done.

Then there’s the battle between the Democratic mayor, Eric Adams, and the Democratic dominated City Council. The Council voted, with a veto-proof majority, to outlaw solitary confinement. As of this writing, Adams has suggested he could

nonetheless veto the legislation.

On the morning of Dec. 16th, a Rikers inmate, Latif Gina, apparently attacked Correction Officer Kristin Lonnborg, biting her on her wrists. Gina was put in solitary confinement. That’s something that could not have been done if this bill was already law.

The bill’s sponsor, Public Advocate Jumaane Williams, argued that solitary confinement should not be used for infractions. But it is needed to protect correction officers and other inmates from violently out-ofcontrol inmates.

Politicians often take extreme positions one way or another without showing the flexibility to take things on a case-by-case basis. Obviously, solitary confinement should only be used for the most dangerous inmates and not merely to punish

for infractions.

Officers who do the former should be supported while those who do the latter should be forced to find a new line of work.

Finally, members of the Association of Legislative Employees, the recently formed union for aides to City Council members, have still not been offered a decent contract.

They want salaries raised to a barely livable level of $75,000 a year while the Council is offering between $44,000 and $50,000. They also want the newfangled idea of being paid for overtime they work. That’s apparently too progressive for the Council’s alleged progressives.

Those are just some more examples of how if the Republicans were not so much worse, the Democrats would look like garbage.

Skeptical of Union ‘Health’ To the Editor: The proposed New York Health Act would provide on a statewide level what Medicare-for-All would provide nationwide.

on the plan.

“Maybe I come back in a few weeks,” said Qiu Lan Liu, a vendor selling hats and T-shirts, many of them featuring the New York Police Department’s insignia, NYPD. “I’ll see what other people do.”

As news spread of the coming ban, some tourists said they were taking advantage of the low-priced souvenirs while they were still available. Ana Souza, an Oklahoma resident, proudly held an “I Love New York” tote she’d found for just $10, a fraction of the price she’d seen at brick-and-mortar shops.

Jenny Acuchi was visiting New York from Oakland, California. “It’s a little crowded, but not as much as I expected,” she said. “The thing that makes it crowded is that everyone is taking photos.”

Among the supporters of the new rules were some disability rights advocates, who said the ban would immediately improve access for wheelchair users. Department of Transportation Commissioner Ydanis Rodriguez celebrated the improvements to an attraction he dubbed “America’s Eiffel Tower.”

Rashawn Prince, who uses the bridge to sells copies of his self-published book, “How to Roll a Blunt for Dummies!” said he was unmoved by the comparison.

“I’ve been to the Eiffel Tower,” Prince said. “There’s vendors there, too.”

32BJ SEIU and the Realty Advisory Board on Labor Relations have reached a tentative contract agreement, which averted a Jan. 1 walkout by about 20,000 commercial cleaners and other workers. The workers held a massive rally Dec. 20 on Sixth Avenue near Rockefeller Center.

32 BJ: Union, Realty Board reach deal Continued from Page 1 the union said would be paid substandard wages and offered inadequate benefits.

It also guarantees a $3,000 bonus on ratification, a 10-percent pension improvement and a limited early retirement program that would provide a $20,000 contribution to members’ 401k accounts.

‘A common path’ Pastreich, who during a massive 32BJ rally near Rockefeller Center Dec. 20 said the union was “in a fight,” noted that reaching an agreement had been difficult. But he saluted his RAB counterpart for negotiating the deal.

“32BJ members mobilized with intention this year and marched, 10,000-strong, up midtown to make crystal clear their priorities,” he said. “And today we found a common path forward with the RAB that rewards workers appropriately and meets the moment for the New York City commercial real estate industry. We won a strong agreement that moves working New Yorkers forward. We appreciate Howard Rothschild’s leadership and good faith bargaining.”

During bargaining, the Realty Board had cited high vacancy

rates in commercial spaces and the increased prevalence of hybrid work arrangements and the decline in rents to argue that the current agreement, including the employer-paid health benefits, was unsustainable.

Besides the commercial cleaners, the union represents maintenance workers, elevator operators, porters, lobby attendants, and some security personnel working in all five boroughs, including in some of the city’s most iconic locations, among them the Empire State Building, Grand Central Station, Rockefeller Center and other locations.

Elected and union officials, including from SEIU locals across the nation, came out to support 32BJ’s contract effort during last week’s Sixth Avenue rally at which the workers authorized a strike. Among them, Mayor Eric Adams said it was ridiculous that the union was still negotiating for a contract just 10 days before their current agreement would expire.

The provisional agreement is yet another commercial contract negotiated by the union in 2023, after deals on behalf of 50,000 commercial building service workers in the Washington, D.C. area, Philadelphia and its suburbs, Pittsburgh, Boston and elsewhere in the tri-state region.

Property tax exemptions for Hochul again vetoes change to homeowners wrongful death statute Pedestrians passed by vendors on the Brooklyn Bridge Tuesday. Vendors were banned from peddling on the span starting Wednesday. The move is intended to ease overcrowding on the famed East River crossing, where dozens of souvenir sellers currently compete for space with tourists and city commuters.

Amended legislation had labor support

BY MAYSOON KHAN

Associated Press/Report for America

Governor Kathy Hochul has again vetoed legislation that would have changed the state’s wrongful death statute by letting families recover damages for emotional suffering from the death of a loved one.

Hochul last week declined to sign the Grieving Families Act for the second time this year. In a veto memo, the Democrat said she favors changing the statute but the bill lawmakers sent her had the “potential for significant unintended consequences.”

Among Hochul’s concerns, she

said, were the possibility of increased insurance premiums for consumers and a risk to the financial well-being of public hospitals and other health care facilities.

New York is one of just a few states that account only for economic loss in wrongful death lawsuits. Almost all states allow family members to be compensated for emotional loss.

The head of the New York State Trial Lawyers Association, David Scher, called Hochul’s veto “a grave miscarriage of justice.”

The governor’s decision “puts the safety of New Yorkers in jeopardy and upholds a perverse standard of morality in current New York law,” Scher said in a statement.

The state’s existing wrongful death statute calculates how much families are compensated based

on pecuniary loss, or the potential earning power of the deceased person. That means the family of a top-earning lawyer, for example, can recover more damages than the family of a minimum-wage worker.

DC37 backed bill Henry Garrido, the executive director of District Council 37, the city’s largest public-sector union, had urged Hochul to sign the amended bill for that reason.

“Too often, this means that families faced with the sudden, wrongful death of a child, a stay-at-home mom or dad, or an elderly family member are denied any compensation at all, since the deceased did not have a meaningful income,” he wrote the governor in a letter.

is for veterans who bought homes using “eligible funds,” including pensions, bonuses, insurance and mustering out pay. The Alternative Veterans and Eligible Funds tax exemptions have been expanded and will now apply to school taxes.

Benefit amount varies according to service and/or disability.

The Senior Citizen Tax Exemption is property tax break for seniors who own one-, two, or three-family homes, condominiums or cooperative apartments, the SCHE tax breaks are now available to homeowners with a combined annual income of $58,399 or less. All owners of the property must be 65 or older, unless the owners are spouses or siblings. If you own the property with a spouse or sibling, only one of you must meet this age requirement.

The total combined annual income of the property owner and spouse or co-owner cannot exceed $58,399. Income includes, but is not limited to, Social Security, retirement benefits, interest, dividends, IRA earnings, capital gains, net rental income, salary or wages and net income from self-employment.

You must own the property for at least 12 consecutive months prior to the date of filing for the exemption unless you received the exemption on your previously owned residence. All owners must occupy the property as their primary residence except in cases of divorce, legal separation or abandonment.

Owners receiving in-patient care at a residential health care facility may be eligible for the exemption. Both exemptions reduce the assessed value of the recipient’s property before taxes are assessed on it. Apply for both exemptions

by March 15th by completing an application available at www.nyc. gov/ownerexemptions.

The maxim “every penny counts” is true even in prosperous economic cycles. Let us discuss a few options for New York City homeowners to save money through real estate tax exemptions. Exemptions lower the amount of tax you owe by reducing your property’s assessed value.

If you already have an exemption, the notice of property value will show the amount of exemption you will receive for that tax year. Two common tax breaks are the Senior Citizen Tax Exemption and Veterans’ Tax Exemption.

Both are for those of owner-occupied houses.

The Alternative Veterans tax exemption is available to eligible veterans of foreign wars, expeditionary medalists, veterans with honorable discharges, spouses/ widow(er)s of veterans and Gold Star parents. Applicants for the Alternative Veterans exemption must have served in one of the following conflicts: The Persian War conflict, the Vietnam War, the Korean War and World War II. Veterans designated disabled by the Veterans’ Administration may be eligible for a disabled veteran exemption. Submit a copy of a letter from the VA indicating your disability rating. Your rating can be obtained by calling the VA at 1-800827-1000.

Form DD-214 is usually used to indicate discharge under honorable conditions. Click the link for a complete listing of Acceptable Military Records for Veterans Property Tax Exemption.

Veterans who have received a letter from the New York State Division of Veterans’ Services stating that they meet the character of discharge criteria for all of the benefits and services listed in the Restoration of Honor Act may sub- Mathew Joseph is a real estate tax consultant.

DCAS HIRING LIST Child Protective Specialist The Department of Citywide Administrative Services established a 226-name list for Child Protective Specialist on November 15, 2023. The list is based on Exam 3302, which was recently held.

Readers should note that eligible lists change over their four-year life as candidates are added, removed, reinstated, or rescored. The list shown below is accurate as of the date of establishment but list standings can change as a result of appeals.

Some scores are prefixed by the letters v, d, p and s. The letter “v” designates a credit given to an honorably discharged veteran who has served during time of war. The letter “d” designates a credit given to an honorably discharged veteran who was disabled in combat. The letter “p” designates a “legacy credit” for a candidate whose parent died while engaged in the discharge of duties as a NYC Police Officer or Firefighter. Finally, the letter “s” designates a “legacy credit” for being the sibling of a Police Officer or Firefighter who was killed in the World Trade Center attack on Sept.

Public Health Nurse The Department of Citywide Administrative Services established a 77-name list for Public Health Nurse (School Health) on November 15, 2023. The list is based on Exam 4082, which was recently held. Readers should note that eligible lists change over their four-year life as candidates are added, removed, reinstated, or rescored. The list shown below is accurate as of the date of establishment but list standings can change as a result of appeals.

Some scores are prefixed by the letters v, d, p and s. The letter “v” designates a credit given to an honorably discharged veteran who has served during time of war. The letter “d” designates a credit given to an honorably discharged veteran who was disabled in combat. The letter “p” designates a “legacy credit” for a candidate whose parent died while engaged in the discharge of duties as a NYC Police Officer or Firefighter. Finally, the letter “s” designates a “legacy credit” for being the sibling of a Police Officer or Firefighter who was killed in the World Trade Center attack on Sept. 11, 2001.

Women and minorities are encouraged to submit applications for apprenticeship programs.

Sponsors of programs are required to adopt affirmative action plans for the recruitment of women and minorities.

UPCOMING EXAMS LEADING TO JOBS Below is a roundup of New York City and State exams leading to public-service positions. Most of the jobs listed are located in the New York Metropolitan area and upstate.

There are residency requirements for many New York City jobs and for state law-enforcement positions.

Prospective applicants are advised to write or call the appropriate office to make sure they meet the qualifications needed to apply for an exam. For jobs for which no written tests are given, candidates will be rated on education and experience, or by oral tests or performance exams.

DCAS Computer-based Testing and Application Centers (CTACs) have re-opened to the public. However, due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, walk-ins are no longer accepted and appointments must be scheduled online through OASys for eligible list or examination related inquiries.

All examination and eligible list related notifications will be sent by email only, you will no longer receive notifications via the US mail.

All new hires must be vaccinated against the COVID-19 virus, unless they have been granted a reasonable accommodation for religion or disability. If you are offered city employment, this requirement must be met by your date of hire, unless a reasonable accommodation for exemption is received and approved by the hiring agency.

For further information about where to apply to civil service exams and jobs, visit the thechief.org/exams.

The Federal Government has decentralized its personnel operations and holds few exams on a national or regional basis.

Most Federal vacancies are filled by individual agencies based on education-and-experience evaluations. For information, contact the U.S. Office of Personnel Management or individual agencies, or see www.usajobs.gov.

LABOR AROUND THE NATION NEWS IN BRIEF FLORIDA Increased support for labor The Sunshine State could be turning into fertile ground for organizing.

According to a recent poll by Florida State University, 55 percent of respondents in the state, which has not previously been thought of as a labor stronghold, said they supported unions to some degree.

“My guess is that you’ve seen some union success in the auto industry and of course in Hollywood, and I suspect a lot of people look at that and say … that might be able to raise my income as well,” Kevin Wagner, a political scientist at Florida Atlantic University, told the South Florida Sun Sentinel.

Just 4.5 percent of the state’s 9.1 million workers were members of unions in 2022, significantly less than the 10.1 percent of workers nationally, according to Bureau of Labor Statistics data cited by the paper.

According to the poll, 32 percent strongly support unions while 23 percent said they somewhat support labor unions. Just 19 percent said they opposed unions, with 9 percent strongly opposed and 10 percent somewhat opposed. Nearly a quarter of respondents said they neither support nor oppose unions.

The bump in support for labor from Floridians could be a reflection of increased union activity nationally — and significant contract victories by auto workers, UPS employees and movie and TV professionals.

But the president of the Florida AFL-CIO, Dan Reynolds, also suggested that some residents could be feeling greater economic pressures. “A lot of it has to do with the growing realization that the middle class is fast disappearing,” the Sun Sentinel quoted him as saying Wagner also thought as much.

“I do think that many Floridians are being squeezed by a number of costs including the high cost of living, housing, insurance, and the union victories suggest some avenues of improving their position,” Wagner said.

COLORADO Cinema staff seek union Workers at the Westminster Alamo Drafthouse Cinema who are pushing to unionize rallied Tuesday over poor working conditions and firings they alleged were related to union activity.

Ticket sellers, bartenders and kitchen staff, who are seeking to join the Communications Workers of America, gathered at the Sloans Lake Alamo Drafthouse location, where workers are also seeking union recognition. The employees alleged that the company failed to address workplace sexual harassment complaints, ignored safety hazards such as gas leaks, and did not respond “appropriately” to active shooter threats.

Ian Miller was among three employees who he believes were illegally fired for union organizing.

“There were many HR complaints filed and nothing was ever done about any of these issues,” he said,” he told The Denver Post. “It is clear [a union] is the only way to engage with the corporate powers.”

Jett Magetti, another one of the fired employees, stated that “our corporate leaders and management have been deeply abusive, incompetent, and negligent for a long time and this has resulted in the majority of us demanding we have a say about our working conditions through unionizing.”

The workers also said they couldn’t afford the cost of living on their low pay and alleged that the company delayed paychecks.

“The company saw record profits this year following the Barbenheimer movie event. We are the reason they made those profits, yet many of us have been worked to the bone with no tip share, no bonus and no dignity,” CWA said in a statement.

About 60 percent of workers at the Westminster location have signed on to the union so far.

Alamo Drafthouse Cinema said that it was “dedicated to the well-being and prosperity of our teammates,” adding that its employees “earned well above national averages for their industry.”

“We take seriously allegations of sexual harassment and abuse.… All allegations and complaints are investigated thoroughly with appropriate discipline, up to and including termination,” the company continued.

ENGLAND Doctors go on strike Junior doctors in England represented by the British Medical Association began a six-day walkout on Wednesday during a period of high demand at British hospitals with the goal of securing a 35-percent pay raise. The walkout by thousands of doctors would be the longest strike in the 75-year history of the state-funded National Health Service and comes after the BMA and the British government negotiated for five weeks late last year over raises.

“Morale across the health service is at an all-time low,” a spokesperson for the BMA told Reuters.

“Many will be wondering if their chosen career is still worth pursuing — the government has the chance to show those doctors they still have a future working in this country.”

Starting junior doctors make just over $19 an hour and, because their previous raises have not kept up with inflation, have essentially experienced a 26-percent cut in pay since 2008. The doctors secured an 8.8-percent raise last summer and in December negotiations, the government offered pay raises between 8 and 10 percent, far below what the union is asking for.

The union, which says it won’t negotiate again unless it receives a “credible” pay offer, held sporadic strikes between Dec. 20 and 23, causing 90,000 appointments and operations to be postponed.

“This January could be one of the most difficult starts to the year the NHS has ever faced,” Stephen Powis, NHS England’s national medical director, told Reuters. “The action will not only have an enormous impact on planned care, but comes on top of a host of seasonal pressures such as Covid, flu and staff absences due to sickness.”

A nurse’s fatal last visit to patient’s home renews calls for better safety measures

BY DAVE COLLINS AND PAT EATON-ROBB Associated Press

The killing of a Connecticut nurse making a house call in October was a nightmare come true for an industry gripped by the fear of violence.

Already stressed out by staffing shortages and mounting caseloads, health-care workers are increasingly worrying about the possibility of a patient becoming violent — a scenario that is too common and on the rise nationwide.

Joyce Grayson, a 63-year-old mother of six, went into a halfway house for sex offenders in late October, to give medication to a man with a violent past. She didn’t make it out alive.

Police found her body in the basement and have named her patient as the main suspect in her killing.

Grayson’s death has her peers and lawmakers renewing their yearslong pleas for better protections for home health care workers, including sending them out with escorts and providing more information about their patients. The calls come during an era of increasing violence against medical professionals in general.

“I used to go into some pretty bad neighborhoods,” said Tracy Wodatch, a visiting nurse and chief executive of the Connecticut Association of Healthcare at Home. She said she used to call the police and get an officer to escort her when she felt unsafe. But, because of budget and staffing issues, this is no longer an option, she said.

Grayson, who had been a nurse for over 36 years including the last 10 as a visiting nurse, was found dead Oct. 28 in the Willimantic halfway house. She didn’t return

from a visit to patient Michael Reese, a convicted rapist. No charges have been filed in the killing yet.

“It’s all nurses are thinking about right now, even the hospital nurses because they’ve had so many close calls,” said Connecticut state Sen. Martha Marx, a visiting nurse and New London Democrat who is calling for changes in both state and federal laws.

Marx said she was once sent to a home and didn’t find out until she talked to clients there that it was a residence for sex offenders. Often, if a nurse asks for a chaperone, the agency will simply reassign the work to another employee who won’t “make waves,” she said.

Violence has increased Grayson’s death came about 11 months after another visiting nurse, Douglas Brant, was shot to death during a home visit in Spokane, Washington — a killing that also drew calls for safety reforms, including federal standards on preventing workplace violence.

While killings are rare, nursing industry groups say non-fatal violence against health care workers is not. From 2011 to 2018, the rate of non-fatal violence against health care workers increased more than 60 percent, according to the latest analysis by the federal Bureau of Labor Statistics.

In fact, the number of non-fatal injuries from workplace violence involving health care workers has been higher than that of other industries for years, according to the bureau.

In a survey released in late 2022 by the National Nurses United, the largest union of registered nurses in the U.S., 41 percent

of hospital nurses reported an increase in recent workplace violence incidents, up from 30 percent in September 2021.

“I knew a home health aide who got punched in the stomach,” said Ha Do Byon, a former visiting nurse and now a nursing professor at the University of Virginia, who has been studying violence against home health care workers. “Many more nurses got bitten, kicked, or slapped by their patients or family members in the patients’ homes. Some were attacked by vicious dogs or were called names or sworn at. Notably, the majority of these workers were female.”

Byon said specific statistics on visiting nurses has been lacking and he has been working on improving the data.

“There’s no way home health workers should be sent into somebody’s home or apartment by themselves,” said U.S. Rep. Joe Courtney, a Democrat who represents the congressional district where Grayson was killed. “You have to have systems and tools to reduce the risk.”

Courtney has been pushing legislation since 2019 that would set up federal regulations requiring health care and social service employers to develop and implement comprehensive workplace violence prevention plans. While several states require such prevention plans, there is no federal law, industry groups say.

He says the problem highlighted by Grayson’s case is not just about safety, but also about attracting and retaining health care workers, many of whom feel the job is just too dangerous.

“It’s honestly a huge factor in terms of the burnout that employers are so concerned about, “ Courtney said.

creases for federal judges, praised judges and their aides for dealing with the coronavirus pandemic and highlighted other aspects of technological changes in the courts.

Roberts once famously compared judges to umpires who call balls and strikes, but don’t make the rules. In his latest report, he turned to a different sport, tennis, to make the point that technology won’t soon replace judges.

At many tennis tournaments, optical technology, rather than human line judges, now determines “whether 130 mile per hour serves are in or out. These decisions involve precision to the millimeter. And there is no discretion; the ball either did or did not hit the line. By contrast, legal determinations often involve gray areas that still require application of human judgment,” Roberts wrote.

Looking ahead warily to the growing use of artificial intelligence in the courts, Roberts wrote: “I predict that human judges will be around for a while. But with equal confidence I predict that judicial work — particularly at the trial level — will be significantly affected by AI.”
