"It is no secret that Mayor Zohran Mamdani is focused on worker protections. From his campaign pledge to raise wages to a $30 per hour minimum wage within the five boroughs, to his creation of the new position of deputy mayor for economic justice, there have been clear signs that the next few years are going to be full of strict oversight of employer behavior and aggressive enforcement of the laws that govern it."
"The enforcement team Mamdani appointed Julie Su to the newly created deputy mayor title. Su previously served as the secretary of California's Labor and Workforce Development Agency. She also served as acting United States Secretary of Labor under President Joe Biden. There she lead the recovery of more than $1 billion in back wages and damages due to worker misclassification enforcement."
Mayor Zohran Mamdani marked three weeks in office while advancing an affordability agenda that includes a ban on hidden junk fees and condemnation of antisemitic graffiti in Borough Park, Brooklyn. Mamdani has emphasized worker protections, pledging a $30 per hour minimum wage across the five boroughs and creating a deputy mayor for economic justice. Julie Su was appointed to that deputy mayor role, bringing experience recovering more than $1 billion in back wages through misclassification enforcement. Sam Levine was named commissioner of the Department of Consumer and Worker Protection with a reputation for creative compliance. The DCPW budget proposal seeks roughly double last year’s funding, and new laws will expand employer obligations, including an additional 32 hours of unpaid time annually effective Feb. 22.
