Approving a City of Los Angeles study was the first of many essential steps in having the city stand up for Residential Construction workers. Upon implementation, accountability will end one of the many pathways from poverty wages to homelessness.

To care about a minimum construction worker wage is also to care for veterans.

Did you know many veterans step into the construction world after service? According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), in 2022, this sector was a strong source of employment, with 12.8 percent of veterans working in “natural resources, construction, and maintenance.”

"That’s why the International Union of Painters and Allied Trades DC 36 is thankful to the City Council for its unanimous support for the wage study, and we stand in solidarity with our brothers and sisters in supporting a long-overdue residential construction worker minimum wage."

"By enacting a residential construction worker minimum wage, we can lift thousands of workers out of poverty and create a stronger, more sustainable housing system for all Angelenos."

"It is unconscionable that most of the people constructing the homes in Los Angeles live paycheck to paycheck and many are on the verge of homelessness."

To attract a stable and local workforce and eliminate exploitative and disastrous working conditions in the industry, the City of Los Angeles needs to implement a Residential Construction Minimum Wage and provide a private right of action for residential construction workers.

We appreciate the LA City Council for hearing our concerns and taking one step closer to a Residential Construction Minimum Wage, with a study on the matter. Far too many people in our communities are impacted. This is a step in the right direction.

A residential construction minimum wage would help address these problems for all - immigrant and otherwise. We accomplish more together than apart.
