Statement From Governor Kathy Hochul
"From his start as a hospital worker to leading 1199SEIU, George Gresham was a legendary labor leader who never stopped fighting for working people, communities of color, and the dignity every New Yorker deserves.
"His voice helped shape New York's labor movement and strengthen the rights of health care workers across our state.
"My prayers are with his family, loved ones, and the entire 1199SEIU family. May he rest in peace."
