Labor for Harris! Hundreds Turn Out to City Hall Park to Support and Mobilize

We need a President, Congress, and local elected officials who will fight for workers and protect our union rights! That's why the NYC CLC, AFSCME DC 37, Laborers Locals 66, 78, 79, and 1010, PEF, IBEW Local 3, UFCW Local 1500, RWDSU Local 338, UFT, PSC-CUNY, CWA 1180, IATSE Local One, and members of many other unions from across NYC stood united at City Hall Park Wednesday to get out the vote and show our support for Vice President Kamala Harris and Governor Tim Walz in the upcoming presidential election.

Speakers at the event included Governor Kathy Hochul, NYS Senate Labor Committee Chair Jessica Ramos, City Council Speaker Adrienne Adams, and union leaders from the public sector, private sector, and building trades-all gathered to say that we know the stakes of this election and we're putting in the work because we are not going back!
