Union leaders announce and testify to legislators regarding an agreement requiring that a "living wage" provision be included in the Request for Proposals seeking developer firms to implement the Willets Point development. Video consists of excerpts of union officials' news conference statements and testimony to the New York City Council, on October 17, 2008 at City Hall, New York.
Contrary to the statements made in this video pertaining to a living wage agreement, during 2011 the New York City Economic Development Corporation published an RFP that contains no living wage provision.
