N.Y. Public Housing Law Section 152
Labor requirements

All contracts of an authority involving the employment, among others, of laborers, workmen or mechanics shall be in conformity with the provisions of article eight of the labor law, and such provisions shall be deemed terms of all such contracts; and for the purpose of obtaining the prevailing rate of wages or fees for such contracts, the authority shall proceed in the same manner as the municipality in which the authority operates. All such contracts involving the employment, among others, of architects, draftsmen or technicians, whether or not working on the site of the project, shall contain a provision requiring that the wages or fees prevailing in the municipality shall be paid to such architects, draftsmen and technicians; and for the purpose of obtaining the prevailing rate of wages or fees, the authority shall proceed in the same manner as the municipality proceeds in obtaining the prevailing rate of wages or fees for laborers, workmen and mechanics; and the industrial commissioner of the state or the municipal comptroller, as the case may be, shall determine such prevailing rates of wages or fees upon application of an authority in the same manner as provided by article eight of the labor law for laborers, workmen and mechanics. Employees of all contractors and subcontractors employed under or by virtue of such contracts shall have the right to organize and to bargain collectively through representatives of their own choosing.
