CHA backing $13 an hour minimum wage, mayor’s office says
Via The Chicago Tribune
Mayor Rahm Emanuel’s efforts to position himself as a champion of higher wages continued Monday with his administration’s announcement that the Chicago Housing Authority has agreed to his suggestion to require contractors and subcontractors to pay workers at least $13 an hour.
The CHA’s decision to honor the $13 wage comes after Emanuel said last month that he had asked the city’s sister agencies — the Public Building Commission, Chicago Public Schools, the Chicago Transit Authority, Chicago City Colleges and the Chicago Park District, in addition to the CHA — to adopt the standard.
