“#De Blasio, NYC council give pay hike to homeless guards<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n

Four thousand security guards in the city\u2019s privately managed homeless shelters are getting raises, courtesy of Mayor de Bill Blasio and the City Council.<\/p>\n

The just-app<\/a>roved $98.7 billion city budget steers an additional $40.5 million to contracted shelter providers to give security workers a pay hike to \u201cprevailing wage\u201d \u2014 a top priority of the powerful union SEIU Local 32 BJ, which has strong ties to de Blasio and the Council.<\/p>\n

The funding will bring the security workers parity in pay with counterparts employed by the city-run shelters, who are represented by 32BJ, negotiators said.<\/p>\n

About two-thirds of security officers in the city\u2019s shelters work at the not-for-profit shelters but they earn up to $7,000 a year less than those who work in shelters managed directly by the city\u2019s Dept. of Homeless Services.<\/p>\n

The minimum hourly wages will jump from $15 an hour to $18.45 per hour, and total compensation will be $21.82 to $24.94 based on months of service, according to the union.<\/p>\n

During the peak of the coronavirus pandemic, thousands of homeless individuals were transferred out of densely populated shelters to empty hotels to help curb the spread of COVID-19. They are being reassigned back to shelters now that COVID infections plummeted after many New Yorkers got vaccinated.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are grateful that Speaker Corey Johnson and Mayor de Blasio took action to make sure the city budget supports good, family-sustaining jobs for security officers working in homeless shelters operated by non-profit providers. These security officers have been working on the frontlines of the pandemic, making sure some of the most vulnerable New Yorkers had a safe place to come back to at night,\u201d said 32BJ vice president John Santos.<\/p>\n

De Blasio and Council Speaker Corey Johnson said the pay increase was overdue.<\/p>\n

\u201cA Recovery for All of Us includes supporting essential workers. Security officers safeguard some of our most vulnerable neighbors. We are proud to invest $40.5 million to ensure the essential security officers in shelters run by private contractors stay in their jobs and receive the wages and benefits they deserve.\u201d<\/p>\n

Johnson said the agreement \u201cfinally guarantees these essential workers a prevailing wage. This is great news<\/a>, and comes at an important time. They\u2019ve spent the past year helping our city through its darkest hours, and now we\u2019re looking out for them.\u201d<\/p>\n

Awash in nearly $6 billion in federal COVID relief aid, the city budget also awards not-for-profit human service providers a \u201cone-time bonus\u201d of $24 million \u201cin recognition of the valuable work they do,\u201d a Council document says<\/p>\n

The mayor and Council also increased funding by $24 million to community groups running \u201cSummer Rising\u201d programs for kids.<\/p>\n
