Our school lunch workers are in crisis as they are working under inhumane conditions in kitchens that have reportedly reached 135�. No essential worker should ever experience those conditions. Therefore I stand with @Local372Union to ensure we find a permanent fix to end this. https://t.co/ms9fpDjTvg

Today, Labor Day, @GovKathyHochul, signed my bill to ensure that luxury apartment buildings that can afford to provide prevailing wages and benefits to building service workers are required to do so. #LaborDay #1U https://t.co/UN8XS5H62D
I’m proud to be joining the movement of pragmatic New Yorkers in endorsing Brooklyn Borough President @ericadamsfornyc to become the second Black Mayor of New York City. Eric is a friend of Harlem, the labor movement and working people across this beautiful city. https://t.co/lgvzc47Pgg
Today, I presided over the @NYSenate as we passed #paidsickleave legislation for people directly impacted by #COVID19. Whether you or your children are under mandatory or precautionary quarantine due to this virus we want your salary and job to be protected. https://t.co/ILv9BznVY7
I came to Hunts Point on day 5 of the @TeamstersJC16 and #1u strike for fair wage and benefits and @Melbasrestaurant made sure I didn't show up empty-handed. Labor keeps our city running and deserves a living wage! https://t.co/gLQpzIwygP
Thank you @CWA1180 for your endorsement! As your next city Comptroller, I will be a forceful ally for New York’s hard-working union members, and a champion for workers rights. https://t.co/zwwJoCBgjm
“Brian Benjamin is the only candidate in the race that has the experience necessary for handling the City’s investments and protecting the pensions of New York’s retirees” - former Bronx Assemblymember and DNC Vice Chair @MrMikeBlake https://t.co/6VRufrkY2S
Richard Trumka dedicated his life to working people and to the @AFLCIO. I’m sad we have lost him but his work building the labor movement will be a lasting piece of his legacy. My condolences to his family and friends in this difficult time. #1U
It's an honor to have the support of Local 1549 DC 37! Protecting the pensions of our city’s hard-working union employees is personal for me, and I’ll put my experience in investment management to work for the people of NYC as the next Comptroller. https://t.co/Oj2CHCZxaP
I'm the son of Caribbean immigrants who were able to provide for our family thanks to unions that paid them well and protected their rights. As Comptroller, I'll protect the pensions of our union retirees because it's personal for me. https://t.co/q6v1zyVleN
