Doormen and porters past and present at the Upper East Side's Georgica, Arias Park Slope, and Long Island City's L Haus allege they aren't receiving the "prevailing wage" promised by the buildings' use of 421-a tax abatements. Union 32BJ SEIU is trying to raise awareness about the issue?though none of the buildings' service workers are unionized?and hopes the buildings' tax credits will be revoked in response. The buildings, not surprisingly, declined to comment or say the workers' pay has been in line with the rules. [WSJ]
