In response to these actions and to the huge outpouring of public support, the Port Authority finally took action by raising the pay of workers earning under $9 by $1 an hour — and then to $10.10 a year later, putting those workers far above the minimum wage at the time. The Port Authority also agreed to come up with a comprehensive plan for raising wages above the minimum and giving workers health insurance and other benefits by Sept. 30 of 2014 — but has yet to do so two years later.
