Remarks

Speaker Menin on ECE pay parity concerns

New York City Council · Jun 8, 2026 · starts 2:14:53 · 29 sec

Menin highlights that the executive plan's ECE rate increases do not provide pay parity for the ECE workforce, whose wages vary greatly across sites, and calls for improved recruitment and retention of ECE educators.

Speaker

Notably, these rate increases do not provide pay parity for the ECE workforce, whose wages vary greatly across sites, experience, and union affiliation.

Speaker

For a strong ECE system, we need a strong workforce behind it.

Speaker

The Council is ready to work with the DOE to improve recruitment and retention of ECE educators, including increased wages for workers.
