Unions Work To 'Create Futures' With Good Jobs In New York City - 05/22/07

By Doug Cunningham

Good, middle-class jobs for New York City residents. That’s the goal as labor unions, industry and government came together for a recent conference called Creating Futures, sponsored by the United Federation of Teachers. It’s an effort to coordinate funding, worker friendly legislation, education and economic development to make sure the estimated 750,000 jobs created in the next twenty years are living wage jobs.
