Abstract:

Christopher Lydon reports that Ray Flynn (Mayor of Boston) is requesting the creation of a Boston Employment Commission in order to boost the number of Boston residents working in Boston jobs. Lydon notes that the Flynn administration would like the Boston work force to be 10% female, 25% minority and 50% Boston residents. Lydon's report includes footage from an interview with Flynn about employment in Boston. Lydon reports that Flynn's proposed ordinance would change the demographics of the work force in the public and private sectors. Lydon notes that unions are opposed to Flynn's proposal. Lydon's report includes footage from an interview with James Kelly (Boston City Council). Kelly says that sanctions will be imposed unfairly on the construction industry. Lydon's report also includes footage from interviews with Mel King (candidate for US Representative) and Thomas Menino (Boston City Council). King says that sanctions are necessary to enforce the proposal. Menino says that some industries are hiring more Boston residents already. Lydon notes that critics believe that compliance with the ordinance would cost jobs. Lydon's report is accompanied by interviews with construction workers and white-collar workers about the proposed ordinance. This edition of the Ten O'Clock News also included the following item: Minister Don Mohammad speaks out against drug traffic in Roxbury. Drug traffic in Roxbury housing development
