§  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.
