The question L.A. urgently need to answer: Who will build the housing to solve our housing crisis? We must recruit and retain a local workforce of residential construction workers to build our own communities. A Residential Construction Worker Minimum Wage is piece to solving our housing crisis.

Josue's story is the story of too many in the residential construction worker trade. Exploited beyond belief, to their breaking point. For what? For bad actors to squeeze more profits off the backs of exploited workers, risking injury and death.

You can’t tackle LA’s housing crisis by exploiting underpaid workers who can’t afford the homes they build. The Mayor's office highlighting a partnership with a developer known for violating labor laws is deeply misguided. It's not a flex. #JamisonProperties #WhoBuildsLA #LAHousing #Jamison
