Gone are the days of shady salespeople trying to tack on surprise fees when it’s time to sign. The price you see is the price you pay.

I joined @NYCMayor & Council colleagues to kick off @helloDCWP’s blitz of outreach ahead of the World Cup. We handed out the Worker’s Bill of Rights to the people that keep this city running! It is important to share worker protection information so everyone knows their rights.
