Every year, New York City spends over $2 billion in public money in the name of economic development and job creation. A disturbing study by the Fiscal Policy Institute, Good Jobs New York, and the National Employment Law Project shows that companies receiving these taxpayer-funded subsidies pay a significant number of workers poverty level wages.

The coalition includes numerous public sector unions, the South Bronx Community Congress, the Freedom Party, the CUNY Mobilization Network, the Coalition for Public Education, and the Bail Out the People Movement.

 “They have pushed us and pushed us till we’re right at the cliff,” said Ramon Jimenez, a leader of the South Bronx Community Congress and 2010 Freedom Party candidate for New York attorney general. “We’ve got to turn around and push back,” he added. “We need to come together around a common strategy.”
