I think you gloss over the point, mmarvel. The City allows a contractor to make the decision to "give" or not "give" benefits to families.
This change ensures that what a contractor decides to "give," to employee families, they must give equally to every employee family. If this isn't of importance to you, then I would see how you would be opposed.
While the City is a market participant, and price and quality are paramount, we should not act without principles.
The City values equality and fairness. I think we would be negligent if we put blinders on to these goals when we employ local and national businesses to do City work.
