New NYC Law Will Put Non-Unionized Car Washes Out of Business

IndependentSentinel-

New York City’s leftist mayor Bill de Blasio has signed legislation that will put non-unionized car washes out of business.

He signed legislation to require car washes across the city to obtain licenses and purchase surety bonds in order to operate.

The bill will require car washes to meet strict environmental standards and safety requirements. Car washes rarely have problems according to the city Department of Environmental Protection and both environment and safety are already monitored by Occupational Safety and Health Administration and state Department of Labor among a host of other agencies.

The legislation was primarily written by Make the Road New York, a powerful nonprofit being paid by the retail workers union RWDSU to organize the car-wash industry.

Doesn’t this seem a bit corrupt?

Non-unionized owners are being told to obtain a $150,000 bond to cover claims and labor violations while unionized car washes are told they only need a $30,000 bond.

The Association of Car Wash Owners, Inc., represented by Steve Rotlevi, a Brooklyn-based car wash owner called the new law “extortion.”

  1. Is that brown thing under his right armpit a giant mole?

    (“Lord, I apologize, and be with the starvin’ Pygmies in New Guinea. Amen”)

  2. Slightly Off Topic
    I don’t get it, if you are born a homosexual and it can’t be changed, howcum DeBlasio’s wife is a former lesbian?
    And if you’re born Warren Wilhelm Jr, how can you now be Bill DeBlasio?

    I’m confused.

  3. It’s nice that insipid stupidity and feral corruption are so well-represented by the DemocRATic Party in America’s Largest Cities®.

    On a side note, look at the biceps on that gurl [sic]! She could sure throw a punch. Or polish a hubcap.

  4. “The bill will require car washes to meet strict environmental standards and safety requirements.”

    oh yes, because we all know that it is the unlicensed car washes that are the cause of all the cities ills, crime and man made global climate change!

    more useless regulation. there are already laws on the books against harming the environment. why the sudden need for more? these useless regulations will harm not enhance the quality of life for most citizens. it’s amazing we are so invested in having more added all the time. we truly are mentally unstable.

  5. Gonna put lots drop outs outta work. And the voters will be thrilled to pay $15 for a shitty car wash that takes 15-20 minutes now. Good news for the car washes in the burbs. That is, until the union goons show up.
