Laborers Paid $13.50/Hour for First 40 Hours Each Week, $20.25/Hour After That; Registration Available at Sanitation Depots Around City
NEW YORK—As cleanup from this weekend's winter storm continues, New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio and Sanitation Commissioner Kathryn Garcia put out a call today for additional emergency snow laborers to remove snow and ice from bus stops, crosswalks, fire hydrants, step streets, and other locations throughout the city.
Interested individuals can register at local Sanitation garages today and every day this week from 7am until 3pm. The list of garage locations can be found below and online here. Snow laborers will be paid $13.50 per hour, and $20.25 per hour after 40 hours are worked in a week, an increase from the previous year.
"This was one of the worst storms to ever hit New York City, and we need all hands on deck to dig us out," said Mayor Bill de Blasio. "As Sanitation's uniformed workers continue to focus their herculean efforts on clearing our city's streets, snow laborers will be critical in shoveling out other key locations, like crosswalks, hydrants, bus stops, and more."
"While the uniformed men and women of the Department of Sanitation concentrate their efforts on city streets, Emergency Snow Laborers will be vital to keeping the city moving after this massive snowfall," said Commissioner Kathryn Garcia. "Their help, in targeting the city's thousands of crosswalks, fire hydrants and bus stops, will allow for the quicker removal of snow in the areas pedestrians frequent."
Applicants must be at least 18 years of age, be eligible to work in the United States, and capable of performing heavy physical labor.
