Come See Why Project Labor Agreements Are a Win for NYC Workers, Businesses, and Communities 🌳

Ever wonder how New York City builds anything at scale without turning into a logistical nightmare? Project Labor Agreements (PLAs) are the behind-the-scenes tool that keeps major public construction projects on track, safe, and fair to the people doing the work. And now there's new research proving just how well they can work for planting street trees.

Join Local 1010 LECET, Cornell ILR, and industry leaders on Sept 29th for a first look at a Cornell University ILR School study using a real, on-the-ground example: NYC Parks & Recreation's street tree planting program. The researchers set out to answer a tough question: is a PLA actually feasible for this kind of work? And the answer is a resounding yes. Their findings show a PLA here wouldn't just keep things running smoothly for the agency but it would also deliver real wins across the board: better outcomes for the city, stronger contracts for the firms doing the work, and better pay and conditions for the workers on the ground.

After the presentation, there will be a lively panel discussion featuring NYC Comptroller Mark Levine, Santos Rodriguez (Chief of Staff, Building and Construction Trades Council of Greater New York), James Versocki (Partner, Archer, Byington, Glennon & Levine LLP) and Rusty Weaver (Director of Research, ILR Buffalo Co-Lab) who will dig into what it would actually take to bring more PLAs to publicly funded projects, and how to clear the roadblocks standing in the way.

⏰ DATE/TIME: SEPTEMBER 29th at 9:00 AM

📍LOCATION: ILR NYC Conference Center 570 Lexington Avenue, 12th Fl New York, NY 10022
