They have been over hyping this issue from the start. Here is an excerpt from the Miami Herald from June 2nd when MWC was granted preliminary approval :
("Dozens traveled to County Hall Tuesday to urge the commission to force developers to make greater concessions, many wearing shirts that, in remembrance of civil unrest in areas like Ferguson and Baltimore, read “Black Work Matters.” Some argued that the county should only approve the CDD through an agreement that would guarantee better wages.
“We should not operate under the illusion that the builders of the Miami Worldcenter are doing us any favors,” said Phillip Agnew, an organizer with the social activist group Dream Defenders. “They are doing us no favors by offering us jobs at substandard wages.”)
Here is the whole article if interested:
