(The Bronx, NY) Congressman José E. Serrano joined hundreds of 32BJ SEIU residential workers on Wednesday March 11 at a rally outside Bronx Borough Hall to demand fair wages and work benefits. Thousands of residential service workers who work in over 1,000 apartment buildings in the Bronx are currently renegotiating their contracts with their employers.
“Our community’s hardworking people deserve access to fair wages and benefits that allow them to meet their basic needs, provide for their families, and plan for their future,”said Congressman José Serrano. “We need to make sure residential workers are fairly compensated and are offered the health care and retirement benefits they need to continue living and working in New York City.”
The solidarity rally was set up to send the message that organized labor believes in a strong and sustainable Bronx where everyone benefits from the change and transformation taking place in those neighborhoods.
