A heartfelt thank you to LA CAUSA YouthBuild for their support of #WhoBuildsLA. This initiative is about the future as much as it is about the present. The next generation expects us to make the right choices for their future.

We need roughly 50,000 more residential construction workers just to rebuild from the catastrophic fires, let alone our pre-existing housing needs. But we will not rebuild by exploiting workers; we must rebuild with dignity for workers.
#WhoBuildsLA #MovementBuilding #WorkersRights
When construction workers are underpaid, taxpayers pick up the tab.
1 in 6 construction workers are paid under the table or misclassified, costing California over $1 Billion per year in lost taxes.
Stand with workers.

We demand accountability and wages that reflect the reality of what it means to be a residential construction worker.

To attract a stable and local workforce, and rid the industry of these disastrous working conditions, the City of Los Angeles needs a minimum wage and a private right of action for residential construction workers.

As we wait for the study to begin, we want to thank Los Angeles City Councilmember Bob Blumenfield for his support of the study.

It is important to celebrate Black History Month, and it is also important to put in the work year-round to support workers - we appreciate you!

We need more workers, and we need to end the exploitation of the residential construction workforce–the very workers tasked with building the housing lost in the fires. Most cannot afford to live in the city they are helping to rebuild.

Thank you for uplifting this vital issue. The residential construction worker is not immune to wage theft.
Eight out of ten residential construction workers surveyed in Los Angeles have experienced wage theft.

“Yet low wages, immigration raids, misclassification, and wage theft continue to drive workers out of this vital industry.”

West Hollywood City Councilmember John Erickson shares some of the many vital reasons a Residential Construction Worker's minimum wage is an issue of affordability and exploitation. It impacts all of us.
