Description
Docket #0188 - Ordinance preventing wage theft in the City of Boston
A
Our
time
stops,
I
also
just
want
to
make
clear
that
this
is
one
of
likely
two
working
sessions,
we'll
likely
have
a
second
working
session,
at
least
scheduled
already
for
april
20th,
to
go
over
this,
so
that
we
can
do
this
in
the
appropriate
amount
of
time
and
answer
all
questions
and
take
back
all
feedback.
I
am
city,
councilor
ricardo
arroyo,
I'm
the
chair
of
the
committee
on
government
operations.
A
This
docket
was
sponsored
by
myself
and
councilor
julia
mehia
in
accordance
with
chapter
22,
of
the
acts
of
2022,
modifying
certain
requirements
of
the
open
meeting
law
and
relieving
public
bodies
of
certain
requirements,
including
the
requirement
that
public
bodies
conduct
its
meetings
in
a
public
place
that
is
open
and
physically
accessible
to
the
public.
The
city
council
will
be
conducting
this
working
session
remotely.
This
enables
the
city
council
to
carry
out
its
responsibilities
while
ensuring
public
access
to
its
deliberations
through
adequate
alternative
means.
A
City
council,
tv
and

It
will
also
be
rebroadcast
at
a
later
date.
Written
comments
may
be
sent
to
the
community
email
at
ccc.go
boston.gov.
It
will
be
made
part
of
the
record
and
available
to
all
counselors.
Since
this
is
a
working
session,
there
will
not
be
a
public
comment
period.
A
A
This
ordinance
would
allow
the
city
of
boston
to
leverage
municipal
tools
in
order
to
prevent
wage
death
practices
in
the
city.
It
would
apply
to
all
city
contractors
and
organizations
with
municipal
construction
contracts,
building
permits
and
licenses.
Specifically,
the
ordinance
is
seeking
to
hold
not
just
contractors
but
also
subcontractors
accountable
for
their
employment
practices.
The
ordinance
would
also
create
a
wage
steps
committee
in
order
to
review
wage
debt
complaints
and
provide
recommendations
to
the
mayor
and
city
council
on
the
implementation
effectiveness
of
this
ordinance.
A
Finally,
the
ordinance
would
also
establish
a
formal
ways:
complaint
process
in
coordination
with
cooper
corporation
council
on
the
attorney
general's
office.
Again,
this
session
is
to
discuss
specific
language
suggestions
and
edits
with
that
said,
as
the
chair
I'll
be
skipping
introductions
from
other
counselors
and
we
have
been
joined
by
council
laurel
due
to
time
constraints.
I'm
just
gonna
have
councillor
mejia,
speak
briefly
with
an
opening
and
then
we'll
jump
right
into
the
working
session.
Councilmember
the
floor
is
george.
B
Yeah,
thank
you
counselor.
I
like
when
you
like,
preface
it
briefly
so
already
letting
me
know
no
seriously.
Thank
you,
counselor
atoyo,
for
not
only
chairing,
but
also
for
leading
on
this
effort,
I'm
just
looking
forward
to
working
alongside
our
council,
colleagues
and
the
administration
and
our
advocates
to
help
this
ordinance
get
to
where
it
needs
to
be
so
that
we
can
meet
the
moment.
That's
it.
Thank.
A
We
also
have
the
advocates
panel
here
today,
which
is
audrey
richardson
from
the
greater
boston,
legal
service,
jason
saldado
from
greater
boston,
legal
services,
and
we
also
have
darlene
lombos
from
the
greater
boston,
labor
council,
chris
soares,
from
the
national
atlantic
states,
regional
council
of
carpenters,
noel
xavier
from
the
atlantic,
national
atlantic
states,
regional
council,
carpenters
and
michael
hess
from
local
seven.
And
so
what
we'll
do
here
is.
A
I
want
to
give
folks
from
our
panel
who
feel
as
though
they
would
like
to
give
an
opening
the
chance
to
give
it
opening.
So,
if
you
would
like
to
give
an
opening,
please
just
raise
your
hand,
otherwise
we
will
just
jump
right
into
the
ordinance
itself
and
start
going
section
by
section
over
the
ordinance.
A
So
if
anybody
on
the
panel
feels
like
they'd
like
to
give
an
opening,
please
raise
your
yellow
hand
I'll
give
it
a
minute
for
folks
to
do
that
or
if
you
don't
know
how
to
do
that.
Just
turn
your
camera
on
and
raise
your
hand
and
I'll
acknowledge
you
all
right
looks
like
we're
going
right
into
the
ordinance,
which
is
great.
So
let
me
just
pull
that
up.
A
Okay,
let
me
just
make
sure
so.
Can
everybody
see
the
wage
depth
ordinance?
Is
that
coming
through
clear,
all
right,
perfect
and
so
section?
One
is
the
purpose
which
is.
The
purpose
of
this
ordinance
is
to
provide
municipal
legislative
guidance
to
enforce
state
and
federal
regulations
around
fair
contracting
practices.
A
This
ordinance
will
lay
out
requirements
for
municipal
contracts
with
the
city
of
boston,
with
city
of
boston
departments
and
agencies.
Does
anyone
have
any
any
issues
with
that
or
anything
they
want
to
raise
with
the
purpose
and
to
make
it
easier,
just
jump
in
so
frankly,
popcorn
style's
better?
When
I
have
this
many
folks,
because
it's
harder
to
keep
track
of
folks,
I
think
I
see
director
nguyen
raising
her
hand.
Yes,
it
is
you
you
can
take
four.
C
A
C
A
Yeah,
so
we'll
make
sure
we
do
that
in
the
definition
section
we'll
just
throw
in
a
definition
on
on
that
section
of
it,
so
that
we
get
it
clear.
So
folks
know
the
difference
between
the
quasi
and
non-quasi
and
then
section
two
and
just
to
be
clear
before
we
move
on
to
section
two:
is
everybody
else
find
with
the
section
one
purpose
beyond
that
that
one
flag.
A
A
All
right,
fantastic,
all
right,
thank
you
to
whoever
took
off,
took
over
the
share
screen
and
made
it
harder
for
me,
for
whatever
reason
it
hit
the
participants.
So
when
I
was
sharing
the
screen,
I
couldn't
actually
see
who
was
raising
hands
and
who
was
trying
to
chime
in.
So
if
we
can
scroll
down
to
section
two
definitions.
A
A
A
D
There
you
go
the
definitions,
both
stop
work,
order,
references,
general
laws,
chapter
152
and
452
cmr.
The
but
section
9
asks
isd
to
issue.
Stop
work
orders.
We
don't
issue,
stop
work,
orders
under
either
of
those
statutes
or
regulations.
Those
are
we
issue.
Stop
work
orders
under
780
cmr
and
chapter
143,
section
93.
Those
are
the
state
building
code,
so
our
authority
to
issue
stop
worker
orders
is
limited
to
the
building
code.
We
can't
issue
stop
work,
orders
that
are
defined
in
chapter
152
or
52
452
cmr.
A
C
I'm
sorry
I
may
have
missed
this,
but
is
there
anything
on
hearing
or
due
diligence
before
stop
work
order?
I
understand
that
once
you
get
to
stop
work,
orders
and
hard
sanctions,
I
I
think
having
a
phase
around
due
diligence
and
hearing
is
important
because
it
sends
the
message
out
to
the
public.
Without
you
know,
before
going
into
the
sanctions
piece,
as
my
colleague
chris
english
stated,
so
a
hearing
and
some
due
diligence
and
some
preventive
measures
may
also
help.
A
Yeah,
so
that
does
come
up
later
in
the
document,
so
when
we
get
to
that
section,
we'll
bring
it
up,
but
that
is
there.
Yes,
any
other
questions
with
the
with
the
definitions
of
any
of
the
terms
that
we
have
here,
which
include
boston
right
as
an
employee
employer,
minimum
wage
overtime
prevailing
wage.
Thank
you
for
flagging.
The
stock
work
order
definition
we'll
take
care
of
that
in
whatever
the
amended
final
draft
of
this
is.
A
E
A
No
literally,
you
can
so
just
to
be
clear
when
we
do
something
like
this,
where
I
have
multiple
sort
of
voices
in
the
room,
it
doesn't
make
a
lot
of
sense
for
me
to
go
panel
by
panel
out
of
order,
because
there's
going
to
be
some
natural
conversation
that
happens,
I
like
to
do
it
more
popcorn
style,
which
is
basically
as
we
go
section
by
section.
If
somebody
has
something
they
want
to
flag,
raise
the
hand
if
folks
want
to
respond
to
that
flag,
raise
the
hand
if
there's
a
completely
different
thing.
A
They
want
to
flag
in
that
same
section
raise
the
hand,
but
if
we
do
it
section
by
section
it
makes
it
sort
of
more
efficient
and
we
get
through
every
piece
of
it.
So
it's
always
the
right
time,
and
this
is
for
everybody.
It's
always
the
right
time
to
chime
in.
If
you
have
something
that
you
would
like
to
say
on
that
specific
section,
so
counselor
louis
jen,
the
floor
is
yours.
If
you
have
something
you
want
to
say
on
this
section
or
the
section
before.
E
Great,
thank
you
yeah.
I
have
one
comment
on
the
preview
section
and
a
few
comments
here
so
on
the
payment
of
wages
that
the
wage
theft
definition
just
wanna
make
sure
that
we're
clear
if
the
the
definition
of
wages
includes
non-financial
benefits
like
time
off
breaks
health
benefits,
or
are
we
just
talking
about
the
like
pure
monetary
wage
that
people
receive,
and
I.
A
Think
yeah,
I
think
we
actually
addressed
this
in
the
later
sections,
or
we
are
going
to
where
we
want
to
add.
You
know,
earn
sick
time
things
like
that,
so
that
it
goes
beyond
just
if
what
I
think
what
you're
asking
is,
whether
or
not
it's
simply
just
the
wage
that
they're
paid
on
their
on
their
they're
owed
and
not
the
additional
dollars
in
different
ways
in
which
they
could
be
owed.
Money
in
time
is
that
is
that
yeah.
E
E
A
Yeah
yeah
well
flat
and
just
so
folks
know
we're
going
to
do
two
of
these,
so
that
make
suggestions
when
you
make
suggestions,
we
that
will
give
us
time
between
now
and
the
next
working
session
to
actually
incorporate
and
make
final
decisions
and
determinations
on
those
suggestions
that
you're
making
as
to
whether
or
not
they
have
some
unforeseen
consequence
or
whether
or
not
it
works
and
we're
good
or
whether
or
not
we're
going
to
do
something
completely
different
with
the
with
the
wording.
So
please
do
make
those
suggestions.
A
A
F
A
E
E
For
application,
it
says
an
initial
application
or
renewal
of
a
license
or
permit.
I
just
want
to
know
if
that
definition
also
includes
reapplication
like,
for
example,
in
cases
where
there's
a
denial
of
an
application
and
then
the
subsequent
one.
So
that's
all
my
two
points
and
then
I'm
done
for
this
section.
F
Hi,
thank
you
and
I
apologize
for
if
I
was
speaking
up
out
of
turn
there.
I
just
wasn't
sure
if
I
had
what
I
had
missed
while
I
was
gone
and
trying
to
get
back
in
so
I
and
or
if
this
is
repetitive,
but
I
just
we
were.
I
think
that
it
would
be
important
in
the
wage
theft
definition
to
add
earn
sick
time.
There.
A
Not
repetitive,
just
a
second
flag,
where
we
might
have
to
figure
out
how
we
do
that
which
I
would
agree.
I
think
it
is
important
to
add
that
so
we'll
we'll
figure
out
a
way
to
work
that
in
if
it's
not
in
that
actual
definition
from
the
site
that
we
have
and
so
does,
anybody
else
have
anything
else
for
the
definition
section
before
we
get
to
the
wage
step
advisory
committee,
christopher
source.
G
It
turns
out
that
there
are,
of
course,
many
different
types
of
sort
of
tax,
increment
financing,
tax
breaks
and
other
ways
that
municipalities,
finance,
directly
or
indirectly
construction
projects,
either
through
tax
breaks
or
cash
grants,
and
I
think
it
would
be
useful
to
expand
the
definition
to
encompass.
You
know
the
various
ways
that
cities
do,
that.
A
Okay,
so
it
sounds
like
we're:
gonna
probably
have
quite
a
bit
of
editing
work,
just
at
the
definition
section
for
that
next
session,
to
just
make
it
very
clear
what
what
the
terms
mean
and
and
what
we're
referencing
as
we
go
through
the
document
itself.
Is
there
anybody
else
who
has
anything
else
that
would
like
us
to
take
a
look
at
or
potentially
adjust
within
the
definition
section.
A
So
this
isn't
the
last
and
the
only
time
we'll
go
through
these
sections,
but
this
is
probably
the
only
time
we
go
through
each
section
section
by
section
by
that
second
one,
I
expect
we'll
be
focusing
in
on
whatever
changes
we've
suggested
during
this
one
councillor
braden
has
also
joined
us.
I
just
want
to
note
that
and
counselor
lara
has
joined
us,
and
so
I
think
we're
good
with
definitions.
I
want
to
go
to
section
three.
If
we
can
get
the
screen
share
back
up.
A
Thank
you
and
so
section.
Three
is
the
wage
step
advisory
committee
which
I'll
just
read
through
how
it's
written
right
now
and
if
folks
have
something
they
want
to
add
to
that,
please
do
I
also
know
we
have
a
few
folks
who
have
hard
time
stops
if
you
have
a
specific
section
that
we're
not
getting
to
in
time
before
your
time
stop.
A
I
think
somebody
has
an
11
something.
This
is
11
30.
just
get
15
minutes
ahead
of
your
time.
Stop
if
we
haven't
gotten
where
you're
trying
to
go,
give
me
that
info
before
you
head
out,
so
that
we
can,
we
can
record
it
and
and
work
from
it,
and
so
back
to
the
section
three
wake
step
advisory
committee.
We
have
membership.
A
There
shall
be
established
a
wage
death
advisory
committee
comprised
of
one
designee
submitted
by
the
boston
city
council,
one
designee
submitted
by
the
mayor
and
one
representative
from
various
advocacy
groups.
Members
of
the
wage
theft
advisory
committee
may
be
reappointed
annually
and
must
be
appointed
no
later
than
the
second
meeting
of
the
new
year.
Does
anyone
have
any
thing
they'd
like
to
add
to
this
section
on
this
membership.
C
A
Member,
so
I
would,
I
personally
would
prefer
that
kind
of
bevy
of
experience
and
different
experiences
there.
I
also
think
it
probably
should
be
more
than
three
to
be
perfectly
honest
with
you,
so
I
think
we'll
probably
look
at
what
is
a
a
better
number
than
three,
because
it
seems
sort
of
small
for
a
wake
step
advisory
committee.
I
also
think
that
there's
as
far
as
appointment
goes,
I
do
think
for
for
this.
A
It
there's
a
requirement
and
jacqueline
munson
might
be
trying
to
get
to
this
that
they
come
from
the
mayor's
office.
So
we
submit
the
options
to
the
mayor's
office,
but
the
mayor
has
to
make
the
appointment.
I'm
gonna
go
to
councillor
munson,
councillor
monson
but
technically
counts
are
a
legal
counselor,
but
jacqueline
munson,
and
then
council
media.
H
Thank
you,
counselor
yeah,
that's
exactly
the
point
that
I
was
going
to
make
so
under
the
city
charter.
The
mayor
would
be
making
those
appointments.
The
city
council
could
consider
whether
or
not
there
are
you
know
certain
categories
about.
You
know,
expertise,
fields
that
they
want
the
mayor
to
consider
the
appointment
from.
So
that's
the
one
note
that
I
would
make
there.
I
also
have
a
comment
on
the
sort
of
location
of
where
this
wage
theft
advisory
committee
could
possibly
sit.
B
Yeah
counselor,
I'm
just
curious
in
terms
of
the
membership.
I
know
we
have
representatives
from
various
advocacy
groups,
so
that's
great
to
have
that
representation,
but
I'm
curious
if
it
would
be
helpful
to
also
have
folks
with
lived
experience
like
people
who
have
gone
through
this
journey
to
be
a
part
of
this
conversation
and
I'm
not
sure
if
the
people
who
are
names
in
the
advocacy
group
will
kind
of
fill
that
voice.
B
A
Yeah-
and
I
think
we
can
try
to
make
that
happen
one.
I
think
the
committee
has
to
be
bigger
than
three
people,
but
I
think
we
can
try
to
make
that
happen.
Sort
of
the
ways
in
which
we
define
who
we
would
like.
So
we
save
various
advocacy
groups,
but
I
think
there's
ways
to
expand
that
chart
to
make
it
so
that
there's
some
representation
from
a
live
experience
lens
on
that.
Thank
you
councilman
here
I
wanna
go
in
the
order.
G
A
Their
hands
are
popped
up,
and
I
also
wanna
note
that
we've
been
joined
by
counselor
clarity,
counselor
flaherty,
we're
at
section
three,
we've
just
done
definitions
and
we
just
did
purpose
and
so
we're
at
section
three
going
through
the
wage
step
advisory
committee.
Section
of
this
I
want
to
go
to
darlene
lombos,
then
back
to
jacqueline
munson,
then
to
audrey
richardson.
I
Thanks
a
counselor,
so
the
from
my
experience
and
other
ordinances
we'd
love
to
see
language
that
designates
three
seats:
one
seat
that
allows
the
greater
boston,
labor
council
to
submit
three
names.
And
then
the
mayor
chooses
from
one
of
those
names
same
with
the
boston
building
trades
union.
Just
because
construction
is
where
it's
very
prevalent
and
then
one
for
worker
centers.
So
we'd
like
to
see.
I
think
that
the
immigrant
worker
center
collaborative
is
still
a
coalition
and
it's
the
various
worker
centers
across
the
state
and
we've
seen
that
in
other
ordinances.
A
Yeah,
no
that's
perfect,
and
so
again
for
folks
just
joining
us.
The
idea
for
this
session
just
know
everything
you
say
is
being
recorded
and
also
written
down
by
my
team,
and
so
what
we
are
looking
for
is
any
suggestions
for
the
language,
any
things
that
folks
think
need
to
be
changed
or
added
or
supplemented
or
deleted,
and
this
is
the
time
to
do
that.
There
will
be
a
second
working
session,
I
believe
april
20th,
where
we
will
then
start
to
incorporate
those
suggestions.
A
H
Thank
you,
counselor,
and
the
following
comment
that
I
have
is
sort
of
tied
to
the
office
of
the
corporation
council's
contemplated
duties
under
this
ordinance,
and
so
I
would
just
you
know
suggest
that
the
committee
may
want
to
consider
if
this
is
going
to
be
a
committee,
whether
or
not
these
folks
will
be
special
municipal
employees.
There's
also,
you
know
a
thought
that
you
may
want
to
consider
regarding
where
this
committee
may
be
housed.
It
may
be
more
appropriate.
You
know
we
have
a
living
wage
office.
H
We
have
the
bjrp
office,
the
human
rights
commission,
if
this
committee,
or
whether
it
was
a
border
commission,
were
to
have
some,
you
know
stronger
authority
than
is
contemplated
in
the
ordinance
right
now.
It
could
be
more
of
a
full-time
function
within
a
department,
and
then
those
folks
could
be
municipal
employees.
A
Okay,
that's
good,
that's
a
good
note
and
we
will
figure
that
out.
I
don't
believe
we're.
Actually
we
actually
figure
out
within
the
ordinance,
and
I
can
get
a
better
answer
this
on
the
20th,
but
I
don't
believe
we
actually
figure
out
where
it's
housed
in
the
ordinance.
I
believe
the
administration
makes
that
determination
when
we
actually
pass
it.
So
I
think
it's
actually
up
to
the
the
administration
to
determine
where
they
house
the
ordinance
after
its
passage
but
I'll.
We
can
obviously
check
in
and
figure
that
out.
F
So
you
know,
I
guess
the
I
think
there
are
probably
like
some
different
scenarios
for
exactly
how
the
number
of
participants
and
how
the
representation
is
determined
could
play
out.
So
I
assume
you
don't,
you
know,
don't
need
to
get
into
the
weeds
on
that
right
here,
right
now
and
here
but
happy
to
be
part
of
that
conversation.
A
Fantastic,
and
so
I
will
just
say
that
I
would
like
to
extend
the
amount
of
committee
members
and
I
think
that
making
sure
that
we
do
it
in
the
way
that
darlene
has
sort
of
highlighted
and
other
folks
sort
of
highlighted
makes
the
most
sense,
which
is
making
sure
that
we
have
a
bevy
of
actual
involved
parties
and
impacted
parties
at
the
table.
I
want
to
go
back
to
darlene
lombos.
I
I
So
I'm
not
sure
if
this
is
a
section
where
that
belongs,
but
I
do
have
a
strong
recommendation
that
it
goes
to
trends
oversight
in
terms
of
that's
where
the
living
wage
ordinance
sits.
That's
it
would
for
from
the
perspective
of
the
labor
council.
That's
where
it
makes
a
lot
of
sense
to
have
it
at
owd,
I'm
not
sure
if
that
could
be
written
in,
but
that
would
be
a
strong
recommendation.
If
it
can,
the
counselor
should
just
look
into
whether
that
makes
sense.
I
In
addition,
I'm
not
sure
which
section
but
would
also
want
to
make
sure,
there's
some
budget
allocation,
and
I
don't
know
where
that
is
in
the
ordinance
where
it
makes
the
most
sense.
I
see
this
section
on
reporting
requirements
and
others.
This
is.
This
has
come
up
very
recently
with
the
somerville
wage
theft
ordinance
where
they
are
scrambling
to
try
to
figure
out
a
budget
for
it,
and
it
should
really
be
baked
in
so
just
wanted
to
share
that
experience,
because
it
will.
A
Yeah
and
so
unfortunately,
in
terms
of
the
ordinance
to
the
budget
standpoint,
we
can't
really
bake
in
the
budget
and
ordinance.
It
has
to
be
done,
courts
or
coordinated,
but
we
are
in
budget
season,
so
we
will
certainly
be
making
sure
that
at
least
I
will
that
I'm
advocating
to
make
sure
that
we
fund
this
in
a
way
and
I'm
sure
councilman
here
will
and
others
that
that
actually
makes
this
effective
and
impactful.
But
that
is
a
good
note
that
without
funding,
this
doesn't
actually
have
the
teeth
that
it
requires.
A
Thank
you
for
that.
Does
anybody
else
anybody
else
have
anything
on
the
committees
directly.
The
waitstaff
advisory
committee
just
know
that,
right
now
it
says
three
it'll
certainly
be
more
than
that
and
we
will
look
at
the
language
for
that's
already
been
submitted
and
that
I
know
has
been
used
in
the
past
to
make
sure
that
we
have
a
diverse
sort
of
crew
and
cast
for
selection
to
that
committee.
Noel,
xavier
and
jason
letterman
in
that
order.
J
Hello,
everyone
good
morning,
noel
xavier
with
a
carpenter's
union.
Here
I
just
want
to
put
out
there
exactly
in
summerville
how
the
the
committee
was
formed
over
there
and
it
was.
It
was
one
person
appointed
by
the
council,
one
person
appointed
by
the
mayor's
office
and
then
seven
different
groups
that
worked
throughout
the
ordinance
to
put
it
together,
one
appointee
from
each
one
of
those
groups
and-
and
I
do
agree,
the
more
people,
the
better
and
people
that
have
gone
through
the
experiences
you
know
even
better.
J
K
L
L
I
just
bring
this
up
because
it
sounds
like
there's
a
lot
of
conversation
here
about
who
will
comprise
the
committee
and
if
they
are
going
to
be
non-city
employees,
this
is
typically
the
type
of
section
that
would
be
included
for
an
ordinance.
That
would
say
something
similar
to
you
know.
Members
of
this
committee
would
be
designated
as
special
municipal
employees.
Otherwise
there
are
some
significant
limitations
on
their
ability
to
participate
if
they
are
not
employees.
A
Thank
you
for
flagging
that,
and
just
also
as
folks
suggest,
language
you
please
email
my
office,
those
language
changes,
especially
the
counselors,
so
that
we
can
then
make
sure
that
we
don't
miss
anything
that
everything's
clean
when
we're
submitting
it
for
either
legal
analysis
or
incorporating
and
making
those
edits
for
the
future
working
session.
I
think
that
is
it
for
hands
that
I
saw
for
the
committee
advisory
committee
and
then
we're
moving
down
into
section
four,
which
is
the
wage
step
complaint
process.
A
H
Thank
you
counselor,
so
just
a
couple
of
comments
here.
First,
regarding
the
role
of
the
office
of
corporation
council,
as
some
of
you
may
know,
you
know
the
we
cannot
represent
or
advise
anyone
who
is
not
a
part
of
the
city,
and
I
know
the
employee
definition
in
this
ordinance
is
broad
and
comprises
you
know
any
worker
or
employee.
H
That's
going
to
be
working
within
the
geographical
limits
of
the
city
of
boston,
so
I
just
did
want
to
raise
that
the
committee
may
want
to
consider
you
know
the
role
of
the
corporation
council's
office.
Here
we
may
be
more
appropriate
for
kind
of
a
pass
through
where
complaints
are
sent
to
us,
but
we
don't,
you
know,
facilitate
any
of
the
filing
or
advising
it
would.
You
know
that
would
create
some
conflicts
with
our
ability
to
represent
the
city
and
so
because
we're
not
a
public
facing
department.
A
A
C
Those
work,
I
think
I
I
think
both
of
your
comments
are-
are
well
taken.
So
one
is
the
corporate
council
has
a
a
specific
role
and
then
another
designated
front-facing,
a
city
led
agency
that
works
with
marketing
branding
and
outreach
so
that
we
can
appropriately
handle
the
calls
and
write
down
the
complaints
so
that
we
can
appropriately
refer
them
to
corporation
counsel
and
or
other
referral
agencies
that
can
better
support
and
address,
and
we
can
follow
up,
and
so
I
think
those
roles
have
to
be
demarcated.
A
I
think
that's
what
probably
makes
we
can.
We
can
tool
that
I
understand
the
issue
that
corporation
council
has
that
they
can't
actually
be
perceived
as
assisting
in
a
in
a
legal
way
someone.
But
I
do
think
that
we
we
do
have
departments
within
the
city
that
can
give
that
kind
of
assistance
in
terms
of
the
filing
of
complaints
or
referring
of
complaints.
And
so
we
just
gotta
rework
that
to
figure
out
who
who
and
what
wording
makes
that
make
the
most
sense.
A
It
might
be
a
combination
of
wording
and
where
in
who,
we
direct
them
to
any
other
comment
from
anyone
else
on
either
the
filing
receipt
of
complaints
required
communication
with
attorney
general's
office
or
require
communication
with
other
city
departments.
In
section
four,
it
looks
like
other
than
that
flag,
we're
good
to
go
to
section
five,
which
is
requirements
for
city
contractors,
which
is
a
little
bit
lengthier
of
a
section.
But
I
want
to
just
open
the
floor
for
requirements
for
city
contractors.
A
M
And
available
requirements
imposed
by
this
section,
I'm
just
wondering
if
we
could
add,
because
it's
not
only
just
the
purchasing
agent,
that
is
responsible
for
these
type
of
procurements,
but
really
every
city
department.
So
I
wonder
if
we
might
be
able
to
expand
upon
that
by
saying
that
the
procurement
agent
department
or
designee
in
that
similar
language
appears
in
several
other
sections
beyond
section
five.
A
N
Thank
you,
mr
chair.
I
apologize
for
being
for
being
late.
I
know
this
is
an
important
issue.
I'm
glad
the
organized
labor
is
also
weighing
in
their
voice
is
very
important.
Organized
labor
represents
workers
throughout
the
city
and
the
state,
and
they
advocate
for
decency
and
respect
for
all
workers,
whether
they're
in
the
union
or
not,
so
they
play
a
critical
role
in
our
city.
So
just
want
to
say
thank
you
to
the
members
of
the
building
trade
trades
organize
la
organized
labor,
and
I
know
darlene
lombos-
is
here
as
well.
N
A
E
A
E
Yeah
took
that
first
sentence,
but
it
is
out
of
17
musical
state
of
federal
department
for
violation
of
the
above
laws.
I
just
think
it's
a
bit
ambiguous
what
the
blah
blahs
are,
so
maybe
enumerating
them
would
be
helpful
here
or
or
if
not,
if
not
enumerating
them
restating
what
section
you're.
Speaking
about,
like
you
know,
section
d,
two,
you
know
just
just
a
point
that
you
know
the
bidder
must
post
a
bond
just
just
a
flag
about
concerns
for
small
businesses
and
whether
you
know
it
would
be
harmful.
E
E
A
I
I
believe
we
can
do
that
and
I
would
just
say
you
know
just
thinking
quickly
on
the
bitter
bond.
Maybe
we
add
a
waiver,
maybe
we
add
a
way
to
do
a
waiver,
or
some
kind
of
thing
for
folks
who
it
actually
is
a
is
a
problem
for
yeah.
So
so
that's
those
two
things
are
sort
of
flagged.
Okay,
anything
else
that
anybody
else
would
like
to
add
to
any
of
these
sections
here
or
in
response
to
anything
that
was
just
discussed.
E
A
B
Yeah,
so
I
just
kind
of
wanna
piggyback
on
some
of
the
comments
that
council
louisiana
just
made
in
regards
to
some
unintended
consequences
to
small
businesses.
I
think
that,
whether
it
be
in
this
ordinance
or
or
maybe
even
in
the
rollout
of
it,
I
think
it's
important
for
us
to
ensure
that
we
are
properly
educating
small
businesses,
particularly
immigrant
owned
ones.
B
In
regards
to
what
this
looks
like
just
because
I
think
this
conversation
here,
while
we
all
may
understand
it
when
it
comes
down
to
the
smaller
business
community
and
immigrant
in
particular,
may
not
understand
what
this
is.
And
so
I
think,
if
we're
going
to
hold
folks
accountable,
there
needs
to
be
some
level
of
education
council
matteo
for
us
to
consider
in
terms
of
what
the
rollout
looks
like
and
working
potentially
alongside
the
office
of
economic
empowerment,
to
to
get
some
of
their
support
around
this.
B
A
H
A
Correct:
okay,
fantastic!
Thank
you!
So
we'll
flag,
we
flag,
all
of
that
we
jumped
ahead
of
two
there.
I
appreciate
you
jumping
in
on
that.
Does
anyone
have
anything
else
before
we
move
on
to
section
two
of
section
five:
does
anybody
else
have
anything
else
on
the
rfp
bid
and
successful
bid
requirements
section,
which
is
that
a
through
e
looks
like
no?
And
so
I
want
to
go
to
section
two
now
of
well
two
of
section
five,
which
is
certification
disclosures,
which
is
that
abc
section
there?
A
H
A
A
Okay,
moving
on
to
part
three
of
that
which
is
reporting
and
notice
requirements
during
the
contract
term.
Thank
you
attorney
munson,
for
for
your
notes
on
that.
Any
anybody
have
anything
they'd
like
to
add
to
this
part
of
this
okay.
Great
four
is
wage
bonds,
which
is
a
b
c
there.
Anybody
have
anything
to
add
to
part
four
here
or
something
they
think
is
needs
further
definition
or
anything
of
that
nature.
A
For
for
part,
four
here
on
wage
bonds
looks
like
that's
a
no,
which
is
great
five
is
suspension
or
revocation
of
contract
wage
step,
there's
material
breach
of
conditions
in
rfp
or
bid.
Does
anybody
have
anything
here
that
they
would
like
to
add
or
change
or
or
expand
on
okay
and
then
six
requirements
for
successors
and
interests
is
the
final
part
of
section
five
and
it
looks
like
that's
a
no.
So,
oh
actually,
right
back
there,
darlene
lombos
the
floors.
I
I
C
A
Okay,
that's
good
to
know
that
is
good
to
know.
Thank
you
so
back
so,
basically
just
to
be
clear
before
we
move
on
from
section
five
here,
if
there's
any
part
of
section
five
that
that
you
would
like
to
note
or
change
or
expand
on
this
is
your
chance
before
we
head
on
to
section
six:
sorry,
yes,
section!
Six!
Am
I
in
the
right
place?
Not
now,
I'm
awesome,
yes,
section,
six,
okay,
perfect!
So
that's!
What's!
Next!
A
Anything
at
all
those
sections
are
requirements
for
license
applicants,
requirements
for
license
holders
posting
requirements,
conciliation
process,
wage
bonds
and
license
holders
our
wage
bonds
for
license
holders
rather
and
requirements
for
successors
and
interest.
Anyone
have
anything
that
they
want
to
flag
or
talk
about
all
right.
So
the
next
one
is
section
seven
which
is
yup
counselor
louis
den
is
that
for
section
six
by
the
way,
council
legion
or
for
section
seven.
E
A
Okay-
and
I
think
yeah-
and
I
think
this
also
goes
to
trinidan
by
the
way-
is
director
nguyen's
request
that
there
be
hearings
and
stuff
where
that
is
here,
and
I
think
we
probably
have
a
position
to
add
it
later
in
some
other
sections.
But
it
is
here
in
this
section,
but
you're
basically
saying
instead
of
the
city,
you
want
us
to
define
exactly
who.
E
A
Okay
and
so
we'll
we'll
get
to
and
we're
keeping
notes
of
everything,
but
please,
if
you
have
a
redline
version
that
you've
made
yourself
or
you're
redlining
it
yourself
as
you
go
along.
Please
send
us
that
so
that
we
have
that.
That's
for
everybody
on
this,
so
that
we
have
that
and
we
can
make
sure
we
don't
miss
anything.
We
incorporate
everything
that
folks
are
raising
chris
english.
The
floor
is
yours.
D
A
G
D
I
believe
infrastructure
and
transportation
projects
are
permitted
through
public
works
and
the
transportation
department
or
the
various
state
agencies
generally.
Even
if
it's
you
know
it's
massdot
highway,
you
know
dcr.
They
they
permit
on
that
type
of
project
that
usually
that
tips
are
usually
used
for
so.
A
A
G
G
G
And
it's
really
not
a
matter
of
going
on
to
these
projects
and
enforcing
the
requirements
when
there
are
violations.
But
you
the
the
point
of
it,
is
really
in
the
in
the
last
sections,
which
are
that,
if
there's
a
violation,
if
somebody
determines
there's
been
a
violation
that
triggers
the
revocation
of
the
relief
and
the
clawback
of
previously
provided
relief.
G
G
That's
the
section
that
makes
a
reference
to
inspection
services,
and
it
was
really
only
for
the
purpose
of
being
the
recipient
of
documentation
of
proof
of
of
workers,
compensation,
insurance
coverage,
and
you
know
it
could
I
don't
think
we
really
care
which
agency
or
department
is
the
recipient
of
those,
and
we
believe
that
you
know
whatever
makes
sense
for
the
city
is
fine
with
us.
Yeah.
D
G
G
A
A
So
I
actually
looked
into
this
and
it
looks
like
that's
part
of
the
boston
residency
it's
already
in
there,
but
noted,
and
if
you
can
send
us
the
language,
but
I
think
it's
already
actually
in.
I
actually
think
I
I
have
it
I'll
if
you'll
give
me
one.
Second,
I
think
I
can
read
it
to
you
and
and
we'll
see
if
it's
basically
already
there,
but
before
that
anything
else
before
I
go
to
that,
I
just
want
to
give
it
to
audrey
richardson
and
pull
out
that
section.
A
G
D
A
F
F
So
this
is
just
where
consistent
with
my
testimony
last
week
and
the
concern
of
my
client
groups
that
the
wage
theft
ordinance
really
be
about
wage
theft
and
be
focused
on
wage
theft
and
not
go
beyond
to
other
areas.
That
could
have
unintended
and
collateral
negative
impacts
for
the
members
of
their
communities
and
also
in
in
order
to
just
simply
to
simplify
and
streamline
the
ordinance.
F
In
b
and
d,
we
would
suggest
taking
out
the
whole
list
of
of
types
of
a
whole
kind
of
whole
host
of
violations
that
go
beyond
wage
theft
and
simply
replacing
that
with
the
simple
wage
theft
phrase
or
wage
theft
name,
which
will,
of
course,
then
reference
back
to
the
definition
that
should
just
include
the
wage
theft
wage
test
items.
As
we
were
discussing
earlier,.
A
F
A
A
J
There's
there's
a
lot
more
susceptibility
for
these
workers
to
be
taken
advantage
of
one
of
the
things
that
that
we've
been
able
to
see-
and
we
have
examples
of
in
terms
of
of
contractors
that
have
changed
their
business
model
from
utilizing
a
multi-tiered
substructure
on
on
construction
projects
and
then
becoming
more
of
a
legitimate
operation
and
actually
employing
these
workers
and
and
actually
paying
all
the
the
right.
You
know
federal
estate
taxes
insurances
that
they
need
to.
J
I'd
like
to
I'd
like
to
just
mention
a
quick
example
of
of
a
company
that
we,
a
few
years
back,
were
able
to
create
a
campaign
against
the
attorney
general
ended
up
filing.
You
know
a
complaint
against
them.
They
they
they
were
actually
fined
very
large
amount
of
money
because
their
their
whole
model
was
based
on
this
multi-tiered
level
of
of
subcontracting.
J
All
the
multi-tiered
cells
for
the
most
part
ended
up
paying
all
their
workers
on
site
in
in
cash
under
the
table
when
all
this
came
to
fruition,
deg
fined
them
when
they've
realized,
finally,
that
they
had
to
operate
legitimately,
they
felt
that
it
was
in
their
best
interest,
probably
to
join,
to
join
with
the
union
and
because,
if
they're
gonna
have
to
operate
legitimately,
there's
no
point
in
in
doing
what
they
were
continuously
doing.
That
company
joined
joined
the
union
and
this
past
this
past
summer.
J
J
The
only
difference
now
is
they
were
obligated
to
to
follow
the
follow
the
follow
the
law
and
and
do
what's
right
and
operate
legitimately
and
at
the
end
of
the
day,
what
we
saw
were
these
workers
being
able
to
be
elevated
to
to
a
better
position
where
now
they're,
actually
having
all
their
insurances
paid
on
them
and
and
everything
being
done
right.
So
I
just
want
to
put
that
as
a
comment
out
there
that
and
that's
why.
We
specifically
would
like
to
see
this
in
this
ordinance.
J
No,
this
this
employer
was
a
is,
is
an
employer
that
is
from
new
hampshire.
He
was
one
of
the
largest
open
shop
operators
in
in
you
know,
I'm
not
gonna,
say
his
name
for
privacy
reasons.
I
mean
we
could.
We
could
go
over
this
afterwards,
but
in
in
the
construction
business
that
we
were
dealing
with,
they
were
a
big
outfit
out
there.
They
had
just
as
many
workers
back
then
when
they
were
open
shop.
J
The
reality
is,
they
were
able
to
use
this
multi-tiered
system
to
be
able
to
just
you
know,
not
have
to
pay
all
the
the
the
what
they
have
to
pay,
which
is
designated
by
law,
all
the
the
right
taxes
and
insurances
for
these
workers.
They
just
push
that
down
onto
the
subs,
and
you
know
they
feel
like.
F
Thanks
so
I
don't
want
to
repeat
kind
of
the
bigger
picture
comments
that
were
were
made
at
the
hearing
last
week,
but
I
just
do
want
to
flag
that
what
the
concerns
that
my
client
groups
are
raising
is
in
the
current
realities
of
the
status
of
our
federal
immigration
laws
and
the
again
the
potential
ways
in
which
going
beyond
wage
theft
itself
could
have
some
unintended
consequences
for
some
of
those
who
are
most
vulnerable
in
our
communities
and
the.
Fortunately,
the
state
massachusetts
law
is
crystal
clear.
F
Folks
are
covered
and
have
the
protections
of
the
wage
theft
laws,
regardless
of
immigration
status,
they're
covered
for
workers,
compensation
purposes,
regardless
of
immigration
status,
where
we're
very
lucky
that
I
mean
we're
fortunate
that
both
federal
and
state
laws
are
are
very
clear.
On
that
point,
and
as
I
mentioned
last
time,
I
mean
it's.
F
What
I
think
I
should
have
said
earlier,
when
I
was
talking
about
paragraphs
b
and
d,
is
that
and
that
doesn't
necessarily
need
to
be
provided
right
there.
It
could
be
done
separately,
but
we
do
think
that
the
ordinance
should
have
some
anti-retaliation
language,
and
that
could
be
very
general,
but
it
would
probably
be
good
to
make
it
a
little
bit
more
specific
along
the
lines
of
what's
in
the
living
wage,
ordinance.
F
A
You
and
me
both
so
we'll
figure
out
how
to
add
that
in
and
do
that
and
just
on
the
because
I
don't
want
to
get
sucked
in
too
much
on
the
back
and
forth
on
impacts
on
undocumented
workers.
I
just
want
to
be
clear
as
chair
that
my
goal
here
is
to
make
sure
that
this
does
not
have
a
negative
impact
on
workers
period,
and
so,
as
we
get
into
you,
know
the
language.
A
D
I'm
sorry
thank
you
and,
unfortunately,
I
have
to
leave
for
11
30,
so
I
just
wanted
to
make
a
couple
notes
for
future
sections.
One
being
section:
eight
subsection,
one
j
reiterate
my
previous
comment
about
submitting
weekly
payroll
reports
to
isd.
Just
I
feel
that's
better
directed
to
a
different
city
agency.
There
are
two
section
nines,
the
second
of
which,
regarding
worker
safety,
that
whole
section.
A
A
We
flagged
that,
so
we,
I
do
believe,
we're
planning
and
intending
on
striking
that,
but
please
do
send
me
your
red
lines,
that's
for
everybody
on
this.
Please
send
me
all
of
your
edits,
even
if
you've
already
verbalized
them.
Thank
you,
mr
english,
appreciate
it.
I'm
gonna
go
straight
to
darlene
lombos
and
then
christopher
resource.
I
Thank
you
counselor.
I
just
wanted
to
reiterate
from
the
labor
council's
perspective
that
we
share
your
goal
in
making
sure
that
this
is
the
strongest
possible
wage
theft
ordinance
and
also
protect
all
of
our
residents
in
the
city
of
boston
and
just
wanted
to
offer
our
commitment
to
working
through
that
language
with
you
and
our
partners.
I
We
certainly
have
been
able
to
do
that
with
other
ordinances
as
well,
and
and
also
on
the
statewide
language,
for
the
wage
that
prevention
bill,
which
is
moving.
I
will
say
again
how
excited
we
are
about
that,
so
I
just
wanted
to
reiterate
that
and
we'll
work
very
closely
with
you
counselors
on
the
language,
as
well
as
our
partners.
A
G
Just
a
quick
comment,
because
I
have
to
leave
in
a
couple
of
minutes.
It
is
true,
and
I'm
not
gonna,
beat
this
issue
to
death,
but
it
it's
certainly
true
that
the
laws
are
crystal
clear
about
all
the
things
that
are
addressed
in
in
the
subsection.
That
was
just
proposed
to
be
limited
just
to
the
payment
of
wages.
G
But
the
reality
is
that
the
laws
are
clear
but
they're
not
working,
and
that's
the
only
reason
why
we're
all
here
talking
about
dealing
with
this
issue
on
a
municipal
level
and
the
carpenter's
union
has
no
interest
in
in
hurting
undocumented
workers.
But
I
think
noelle's
xavier's
point
was
that
there
is
a
path,
despite
the
brokenness
of
the
system
for
undocumented
workers,
to
work
on
payroll
and
enjoy
the
benefits
that
they're
entitled
to
as
employees
and
and
I'm
sorry
to
jump
ahead.
But
just
quickly
in.
A
A
C
Thank
you
just
quickly.
I
don't
think
it's
necessarily
relevant
to
this
document
per
se
in
front
of
us,
but
we
do
have
to
talk
about
maybe
on
the
implementation
and
streamlining
process
for
the
city
as
well,
because
we
have
various
departments
doing
different
things
on
worker
protection,
different
ordinances
over
the
years
and
prevailing
wage.
A
I
agree
with
you,
and
so
one
of
the
things
that
I
would
like
to
try
and
do
with
the
multiple
working
sessions
is
get
all
of,
because
this
is
very
construction.
Heavy
is
get
a
lot
of
the
edits
that
we
need
to
do
here
done
and
then
get
to
that
second
phase,
which
is
on
the
commercial
side
and
on
the
hospitality
industry
and
on
those
sections
and
have
that
then
get
worked
through
and
add
it
and
work
through
that
and
then
have
a
complete
document
that
now
we
can
submit.
A
So
that
is
the
goal
to
try
and
do
it
that
way
so
that
we're
not
you
can
see
sort
of
how
we
got
a
lot
of
voices
here,
which
has
been
really
great.
I
thank
everybody
for
the
way
in
which
folks
have
participated
and
thrown
in
their
their
their
goals,
but
it's
easier
to
have
the
conversation
this
way
when,
when
everybody's
is
sort
of
focused
on
the
same
things,
and
so
with
the
next
step,
we'll
try
and
do
the
same
thing
there.
A
Thank
you
director
nguyen,
though,
for
noting
that
and
for
folks
who
want
to
send
things
to
the
committee.
I
would
just
board
it
to
the
committee,
but
there's
also
a
committee
email
at
ccc.go
go
at
boston.gov,
that's
where
you
should
send
them
as
well
and
then
either
way,
though
you
send
this
immediate
conception
committee,
we'll
get
it
to
the
committee,
I
want
to
give
a
chance
for
anybody
who
else
is
running
into
a
time
straight.
We
should
be
done
relatively
soon.
A
To
be
perfectly
honest
with
you,
we're
still
working
our
way
through
section,
seven,
there's
section.
Eight
then
there's
a
section,
nine
and
then
section
ten
is
several
ability
and
there's
no
questions
for
several
abilities.
So
we
should
be
done
relatively
quickly.
I
think
we've
got
most
folks
as
edits
in.
I
have
most
of
an
understanding
of
what
folks
are
looking
at.
A
If
anybody
has
a
time
constraint,
they're
bumping
up
against,
though
I'd
like
to
give
you
a
chance
to
raise
your
hand
and
throw
yours
in
and
then
you
can
head
out,
looks
like
we
don't.
So,
let's
head
up
to
section
seven,
we
just
did
section
seven
subsection
one
is
there
anybody
who
has
anything
to
add
to
either
subsection
two
three
or
four
of
section?
Seven.
Before
we
hit
section
eight.
A
I
don't
see
anything
there
for
section
eight,
which
is
the
municipal
construction
contracts.
I
think
some
folks
have
already
mentioned
their
edits,
so
you
don't
have
to
feel
like
you
have
to
repeat
yourself
for
these
section,
eight
and
section
nine,
but
I
see
jacqueline
munson
and
so
attorney.
Munson
for
section
eight
floor
is
yours.
H
A
A
All
right
perfect,
I
just
need
to
know
where,
if
that's
already
something
that
they
do
and
isd's
telling
me,
they
don't
want
that
responsibility.
That
tells
me
that
it's
going
somewhere
else-
and
I
just
want
to
know
where
it's
going
so
thank
you
attorney
munson.
Anybody
else
have
anything
for
section
8,
which
is
the
municipal
construction
contracts,
anything
they
want
to
add
to
the
language
anything
they
want
to
see
taken
out
of
the
language
that
hasn't
already
been
set.
A
You
don't
have
to
repeat
yourself
if
you've
already
highlighted
your
changes
earlier,
I'm
not
seeing
any
hands
so
we're
gonna
go
down
to
nine,
which
is
municipal
building
permits.
If
you
can
scroll
down
and
thank
you
carrie
for
your
work
over
there.
This
is
the
last
section
that
we
would
really
have
any
edits
for.
Does
anybody
have
any
edits
for
section
nine,
municipal
building
permits
or
any
comments.
A
It
doesn't
look
like
we
do,
which
is
which
is
good,
and
so
what
I
will
now
do
is
I
want
to
open
the
floor
a
little
bit
several
ability
for
folks,
it's
the
tenth
one.
There
shouldn't
be
an
issue.
Severability
just
means.
If
some
court
finds
some
part
of
this
to
be
not
legally
standing
it
doesn't
it
doesn't
ruin
the
whole
thing.
It
just
takes
out
that
section
everything
else
works
notwithstanding
whatever
the
court
has
disagreed
with.
A
I
want
to
just
give
folks
a
chance,
because
I
appreciate
how
many
folks
are
participating,
how
many
folks
care
about
this.
If
you
would
like
to
make
a
comment
on
sort
of
the
importance
of
this
for
you
or
if
there's
some
part
of
this,
that
you
haven't
seen
in
any
of
those
sections,
but
you
would
like
sort
of
to
see
reflected
in
what
the
final
ordinance
looks
like.
I
want
to
give
folks
the
chance
to
an
opportunity
to
sort
of
throw
those
out
there
with.
So
it's
not
really
an
edit.
A
It's
sort
of
a
thing:
that's
not
in
here
right
now
that
you
think
could
be
in
here
or
that
you'd
like
to
see
in
here.
We
can
explore
between
now
and
the
next
working
session.
I
want
to
give
folks
the
floor
to
basically
sort
of
openly
say
whatever
they'd
like
to
say
on
this,
and
so
I'm
going
to
open
it
up
by
order
of
hands
going
up.
J
I
think
you
know
we're
all
here
to
do
the
right
thing
and,
and
that's
the
to
be
able
to
do
as
much
as
we
can
to
help
workers
in
all
workers
again
here
at
the
carpenters
union,
we
come
from
a
place
that
you
know
we're
out
there
talking
to
workers
every
day
and
and
being
able
to
help
each
worker
individually
every
day.
That's
not
how
we're
going
to
change
the
the
status
quo
of
everything.
There
are
a
lot
of
laws
that
are
not
being
followed
right
now
by
by
employers,
and
hopefully
some
of
these.
J
You
know
some
of
these
sections
and
this
ordinance
are
going
to
go
towards
the
the
culprits,
the
real
culprits
of
all
this,
which
which
are
the
employers
and
well
some
of
the
employers
that
want
to
cheat
and
some
of
the
employers
that
want
to
use
these
loopholes
to
be
able
to
do
what
they're
doing
every
day
out
there,
and
I
just
want
to
say
that.
Thank
you
very
much.
A
A
The
next
meeting
will
be
on
this
will
be
on
april
20th
at
10
a.m.
I
already
know
that
we'll
notice
it
will
go
out
and
we'll
we'll
incorporate
those
changes
and
start
to
really
take
kind
of
this.
If
somebody
has
things
they
want
to
add
to
this,
please
email
it
to
us.
If
it
didn't
come
up,
I'm
going
to
go
to
michael
hess
and
then
counselor
murphy
michael
has
closed.
Yours.
K
How
are
you
confla?
I
just
wanted
to
say
thank
you
on
behalf
of
the
ironworkers.
You
know
we
represent
workers,
you
know
union
and
non-union.
We
have
a
couple
of
cases
going
on
right
now
that
we've
noticed
an
uptick
in
immigrant
owned
businesses
where
they're
misrepresenting
the
workers
that
they're
hiring
and
then
they
know
that
they
can
take
advantage
of
them
because
they
their
immigration
status.
So
you
have
a
few
cases
going
on
that,
so
this
language
will
definitely
help
us.
O
Each
week
is
very
important.
So
looking
forward
to
continuing
these
meetings
and
making
sure
we
get
the
language
right
so
that
we're
supporting
what
works
already
happening
within
the
unions
but,
like
you
said,
I'm
counsel
roy.
It's
for
all
workers,
not
just
union
workers,
we're
here
to
protect
all
of
them.
So
thank
you.
B
Is
yours,
thank
you.
Councilman.
I'm
really
grateful
for
your
leadership
in
the
space
and
to
work
in
partnership
with
you
to
get
this
passed,
and
I
just
really
want
to
appreciate
all
the
panelists
that
have
leaned
into
this
and
provided
some
really
great
perspective
and
and
feedback
so
looking
forward
to
getting
this
across
the
finish
line
and
more
important,
ensuring
that
we
are
protecting
all
of
our
workers,
because
that
is
the
goal
here.
Thank
you.
A
Thank
you
councilman
here
for
your
partnership.
Thank
you,
everybody
for
this
panel.
This
could
have
been
really
sloppy,
but
frankly,
I
appreciate
how
everybody
came
together
on
this
one
and
really
worked
together
to
to
make
this
clean.
We
came
in
under
time.
I
thought
we'd
be
done
at
noon.
So
with
that,
let
me
let
me
make
this
actually
adjourn.
Thank
you.
Everybody.
This.
This
working
session
is
adjourned.
