In the summer of 1999, at the peak of NYC’s unpaid workfare program, Community Voices Heard initiated a research project to determine what workfare workers were doing at their Work Experience Program (WEP) assignments in New York City. Members were increasingly reporting being forced to do more detailed work and perform significant work responsibilities at their work sites. Between June 1999 and February 2000, CVH members, staff and interns interviewed 649 WEP workers at 131 worksites in Manhattan and the Bronx. Descriptions of entry-level union job titles were used as the basis for the questionnaire and as a point of comparison between job tasks. This report demonstrates that workfare is displacing paid union entry level employees with a second tier of unpaid workfare workers who are doing a substantial portion, if not the entire workload, of formerly paid entry-level employees working in New York City’s public agencies. The survey results also show that the incentives for the city to use workfare labor instead of unionized workers making a decent salary is such that workfare workers are unlikely ever to get real wages for the jobs they do, as long as WEP remains in place.
