A sincere appreciation to the individuals who came to the committee yesterday to bravely share their stories! Putting a face to the L.A. Residential Construction Worker Minimum Wage issue is vital in understanding why so many unions and nonprofits are coming together to demand this study.

Last week, we got one step closer to a minimum wage for Residential Construction Workers. We look forward to the next steps - a committee meeting, where we hope to see continued progress on this very important initiative.
