– The Practice of employers signing up individual construction workers/employees as independent contractors and providing them with an IRS Form 1099 at the end of the year allows certain employers to undermine legitimate contractors and circumvent fair wages while at the same time exploiting their employees as well as the City of Philadelphia. This ordinance proposed by Councilman Henon would rectify further such injustices.
– SUPPORT REQUESTED: We would like the local unions to Register and Testify, and if at all possible, get some employers to testify in support of the proposed ordinance.
– WHAT, WHEN AND WHERE: Hearing scheduled for Friday, 4/5/13 at 2pm at City Hall 4th floor City Council Chambers
– HOW: Please Call Councilman Bob Henon’s Office at 215-686-2078 to register to testify in front of Philadelphia City Council Committee.
