By Bob Hennelly

On this episode of the Stuck Nation Labor Radio Hour, we visit with New York City Central Labor Council President Vinnie Alvarez about the significance of last week’s big win for the International Longshoremen’s Association [ILA]. The union’s 3-day strike earned workers a 62 percent wage hike. 

We check also check in with DC 37 Local 983 President Joe Puleo and  DC 37 Local 2054 President Deshunta Meredith who talk about how members working at CUNY still not yet gotten the pay increases from the last contract ratified back in February. As a consequence, union workers are now working for less than  New York State’s minimum wage, union officials say.
