Graffiti Removed From 250+

Students Call For BanOn Credit Checks In HiringPractice Unfairly BlocksNew Yorkers from Jobs

College students and membersof the NYC Coalition to Stop CreditChecks in Employment gatheredtoday outside Queens College tocall on the NYC Council to banemployment credit checks, whichconstitute an unfair barrier to jobsfor students saddled with studentloan debt, among others.

“Unlike the challenges studentsface in the classroom that help usmove forward, the use of creditchecks in employment does noth-ing but hold us back,” said AileenSheil, Queens College student andChairperson of the NYPIRG Boardof Directors. “With the rising costof tuition, and the growing depen-dence on debt to pay for school,students can hardly afford anotherhurdle. That is why New York Citymust act now to ban this unfair,discriminatory hiring practice.

The students urged the NYCCouncil to pass Intro. 261, the StopCredit Discrimination in Employ-ment Act, which would prohibitthe use of credit history for hiringand other employment-related pur-poses, throughout the five bor-oughs. Members of the Queensdelegation of the NYC Counciljoined the press conference to ex-press their support for swift pas-sage of the bill.

Intro. 261 has overwhelmingsupport in the City Council, with 39sponsors. In addition, Mayor deBlasio has indicated support for aban on employment credit checks.During his mayoral campaign, hesaid, “I agree entirely with the ef-forts to ban the practice of [credit]checks being used in any kind ofemployment or hiring practice,” andhis campaign website called em-ployment credit checks a “needlessroadblock to economic opportunity.”

Over $25 Million Designated For22 Districts In Next Budget Cycle

Allow Workers to UsePre-Tax Commuter

Benefits for City’s BikeShare Program

Rep. Joe Crowley (D-Queens,the Bronx), Vice Chair of theDemocratic Caucus, was joined byNYS Senator Toby Stavisky, NYSAssemblyman Francisco Moya,officials from the New York CityDepartment of Transportation andadvocacy groups at a press confer-ence to announce The Bike to WorkAct of 2014, legislation that wouldallow workers to use their pre-taxcommuter benefits for bike shareprograms, just as they already canfor other forms of transportation.The added incentive promotesgreater usage of Citi Bike, increasesrevenue for the program, and helpssecure its expansion to Queens,where there has been a great de-mand for additional stations.

“Thousands of New Yorkershave already embraced the City’sbike share program as a viable,

Speaker Melissa Mark-Viveritoand the New York City Councilannounced the expansion of par-ticipatory budgeting to 22 districtsthat will designate over $25 milliontoward locally-developed projects,proposals, and initiatives in the next

budgetary cycle. The expansionmore than doubles the number ofparticipating districts and representsa nearly 80% increase in fundingallocated for participatory budget-ing from the previous fiscal year.Participatory budgeting is a gate-

way to greater civic participationand leadership in our communities,encouraging collaboration betweenresidents and local elected officialsto find creative solutions to neigh-borhood needs,” said Speaker Me-lissa Mark-Viverito.

environmentally friendly, andcost-effective form of public trans-portation,” said Rep. Crowley.“That is why I’m introducing leg-islation that further encouragesparticipation in the program bymaking it more affordable forcommuters. Increased connectiv-ity is fundamental to the growth

and development of our city andit is imperative that we meet theneeds of those communities thathave long been underserved bytransportation options. To dothat, we need to ensure our city’sbike share program finallymakes it to Queens.”

Speakers underscored the na-tional credit reporting industry’srole in driving employment creditchecks to expand markets and boostprofits. “TransUnion, one of thenation’s largest credit bureaus, haspublicly admitted that there is nodemonstrated link betweensomeone’s credit report and theirjob performance or their likelihoodto commit fraud, yet the credit bu-reaus continue to market their prod-uct to employers,” said JobyThoyalil, Campaigns Organizer atNew Economy Project.

“Credit reports are not designedas employment screening tools andare woefully inaccurate,” said TashiLhewa, Staff Attorney in the Queensoffice of the Legal Aid Society.“There is absolutely no evidenceconnecting credit reports and jobperformance, and employmentcredit checks have a disproportion-ately negative impact on minority,immigrant and low-income house-holds. It is time to draw a line in thesand by banning this practice, whichtraps job seekers in a vicious cycleof debt and unemployment.”

“Employers cannot be allowedto turn down qualified, hardworkingNew Yorkers simply for havingcome under tough financial timesat one point in their lives,” saidCouncil member ElizabethCrowley. “Discriminating based oncredit history is counter-productiveto our City’s economic recoveryand disproportionately hurts work-ing families and recent collegegraduates, who are often burdenedwith student debt. I will keep fight-ing in the City Council to make sureall New Yorkers have a fair andequal opportunity to succeed.”

“The practice of employmentcredit checks reinforces inequalityand perpetuates poverty and racialdiscrimination,” saidCouncilmember Julissa Ferreras.

“As we work toward a more inclusive,transparent city government, I am excited for22 Council districts to take part in the partici-patory budgeting—more than doubling ourparticipation from the previous cycle. Thisexpanded process will give thousands of NewYorkers a hands-on role in making taxpayerdollars work for our communities.”

“The expansion of Participatory Bud-geting to 22 districts in the City is a testa-ment to the Council’s commitment to em-powering New Yorkers and giving themthe ability to decide where their tax dollarsare spent,” said New York City CouncilMajority Leader Jimmy Van Bramer. “Forthe first time in Western Queens we willgive the residents of the 26th District theability to fund projects that are meaningfulto their communities. I am proud to be apart of this historic expansion of Participa-tory Budgeting. The growth of this inclu-sive process helps build a better informed,and empowered citizenry, which will makeour City’s democracy stronger. I look for-ward to working with my colleagues in theCity Council and New Yorkers who will beparticipating in this process. Together, wewill empower our communities and de-liver the projects local residents vote tofund in their neighborhoods.”

Participatory budgeting is a grassrootsprocess through which district residents votedirectly to allocate at least $1 million in capi-tal funding toward proposals developed by thecommunity to meet local needs. Through aseries public meetings, residents work withelected officials for a year to identify neigh-borhood concerns and craft proposals to ad-dress them. Residents then decide which pro-posals to fund through a public vote.

Good government groups hail participa-tory budgeting as a powerful tool to increasecivic participation and community engage-ment. The only identification requirement isproof of residency in the district; voting inparticipatory budgeting is open to all resi-dents 16 years of age and older, removingtraditional obstacles to full civic participa-tion such as youth, income status, English-language proficiency and citizenship status.

TO REPORT ANATURAL GAS LEAKThe City of New York has begun a public awareness campaign to urge residents to call 911

-and not just their utility - if they smell gas. Previously, residents who smelled gas were oftentold to call their gas utility or dial 311, the city’s information hotline. Now, any calls to 311reporting gas will be transferred to the 911 emergency line, automatically triggering a firedepartment response.

If you suspect a natural gas leak:Leave the area immediately and go to a safe locationDo not try to locate the source of the leakDo not do anything that could cause a spark and ignite the gas:Do not use electrical devices, such as light switches, telephones, or garage door openersDo not use an open flame, matches or lightersDo not start vehicles parked in the areaDo not try to shut off any natural gas valvesFrom a safe location, call 911 to report a gas leak.Do not re-enter the building or return to the area until fire department or lawenforcement personnel deem the area safe for re-entry

Signs of Natural Gas Leak“Rotten egg” smellDead or discolored vegetation in an otherwise green areaDirt or dust blowing from a hole in the groundBubbling in wet or flooded areasBlowing or hissing soundFlames, if a leak has ignited

Crowley’s legislation amends the Inter-nal Revenue Code by including bike sharingsystems as a means of public transportation,clearing the way for workers to use theircommuter benefits for the program. Givenhow inexpensive bike sharing is, commut-ers will have the option to pair bike sharewith other forms of transit, greatly expand-ing mobility and improving access to exist-ing transit systems. Currently, the city’sbike share program is only available inManhattan and Brooklyn.

“Encouraging commuters to bike to workis a win for both the health of our environ-ment and the health of our people,” said NYSAssemblyman Francisco Moya. “Morepeople biking to work means less stress onour public transportation system, less pollu-tion, and better health for our commuters.Allowing pre-tax commuter benefits to beused for bike sharing programs is a common-sense way to improve the health and wellnessof our community. The Bike to Work Actwould rightly ensure that bicyclists are treatedjust like other types of commuters. I com-mend Congressman Joe Crowley for hiscontinuing dedication to improving the livesof Queens families and for his leadership onthe fight for a healthier environment.”

“The more we can do to offer affordableways to get New Yorkers to work the bet-ter,” said Council Member Daniel Dromm(D-Jackson Heights, Elmhurst). “I commendCongressman Crowley for announcing hisBike to Work Act, which would allow work-ers to use their pre-tax commuter benefitsfor bike share programs. If people want tobike to work, they should be awarded fortheir healthy decision!”

“With this common sense legislation, wecan finally put an end to this unfair practice.Credit checks are not accurate reflections ofa prospective employee’s character or workethic and they may not always be accuratereflections of personal finances, especiallywhen you consider the prevalence of iden-tity theft, predatory loans, and consumerfraud. Job seekers should be evaluated fairlybased upon their work experience and jobskills, not personal spending habits. I ap-plaud Council Member Lander for leadingthe fight to ensure that all New Yorkers haveadequate protection against this type of dis-crimination. I am proud to support this bill.”

able and sustainable option for gettingaround,” said, NYC DOT CommissionerPolly Trottenberg. “With CongressmanCrowley’s help, there may be one morebenefit to add to the list. His bill, combinedwith Senator Schumer’s efforts on the samefront, will make bike share membershipseligible for commuter tax benefits. This is awin-win for thousands of Americans whoalready use bike share and those looking tomake it part of their commuting routine.”

“Even before bike share’s instant suc-cess, bicycling was the fastest growing formof transportation in New York City,” saidPaul Steely White, executive director ofTransportation Alternatives. “Now, bikeshare is accelerating that growth even more-with more than 100,000 members to date.We can’t imagine the city without it, so it’stime for the IRS to recognize bike share asthe popular commuting option that it is andwork with Representative Crowley and Con-gress to pass his bill. There’s no betterrecognition of becoming mainstream thanbeing written into the tax code!”

Crowley’s Bike to Work Act has broadsupport from a variety of organizations,including the National League of Cities, theNational Association of City Transporta-tion Officials (NACTO), the Associationfor Commuter Transportation, Transporta-tion for America, Smart Growth America,Commuter Benefit Solutions, Wage Works,the League of American Bicyclists, Trans-portation Alternatives and a number of localadvocacy groups around the country.

5 Reasons To EndEmployment Credit Checks

1. Credit Reports are Notoriously InaccurateStudies have shown that one in four credit reports contains serious errors, and 79% of

credit reports contain errors of some kind.2. Credit History Does not Predict Job Performance

A representative of TransUnion, one of the “Big 33 credit bureaus, admitted under oaththat “we don’t have any research to show any statistical correlation between what’s insomebody’s credit report and their job performance or their likelihood to commit fraud.”In spite of this, credit reporting agencies are aggressively marketing the use of credit reportsand lobbying against bills that would restrict employment credit bills.3. Credit Checks in Hiring Have a Discriminatory Impact on People of Color

People and communities of color have been disproportionately targeted for predatoryand high-cost loans, which contribute to damaged credit. The Equal Employment Oppor-tunity Commission has stated that rejecting job applicants based on credit history “has anunlawful discriminatory impact because of race and is neither job-related nor justified bybusiness necessity.”4. Credit Checks by Employers Violate Workers’ Privacy

Credit reports can reveal deeply personal information, including about medical condi-tions, disability, or family status – information that anti-discrimination laws are intendedto protect.5. Credit Checks in Hiring are a Catch-22 for Workers

Employment credit checks are a Catch-22 for workers. Growing numbers of NewYorkers are unable to get jobs because of damaged credit, and unable to repay debts andimprove their credit because they can’t get a job. With NYC’s unemployment rate stillelevated, the last thing out-of-work families need is another barrier to jobs.
