What we do
The Department of Labor builds partnerships between management and the labor organizations representing City employees. As the City’s main point of contact for the labor community, we:
- Handle negotiations between City unions and the City management.
- Respond to unfair labor practice charges filed against the City.
- Represent the City in union disputes.
- Make sure employers with City contracts pay prevailing wages.
- Resolve minimum-wage waiver requests.
- Administer and enforce the City’s worker protection laws.
Our office has two units: the Office of Labor Relations (LR) and the Labor Policy Compliance (LPC) Program. LPC includes the Office of Labor Standards, the Living Wage Working Group, and the Office of Worker Protections.
