- There’s no doubt about it – @ZohranKMamdani is the candidate for working New Yorkers. “To take on inequality, we know the most effective tool is union density,” said Democratic Candidate for Mayor Zohran Mamdani at our union’s headquarters this morning.
- NYC’s hotel workers deserve fair wages, safe working conditions, and employment free from exploitation. Some hotel owners don’t play by these rules—but it’s time we are treated with respect. Support the Safe Hotels Act.
00:00 - For so many NYers like Shakira, union representation means the difference between poverty and stability. We’re so proud to stand with @ZohranKMamdani, an unabashed supporter of unions who’s running a campaign that takes direct aim at NYC’s affordability crisis.Meet Shakira. Ten years ago, she was living in a shelter with her three kids, working at a non-union hotel. Now she's a member of @NYHTC. Unions are how working people can build a dignified life. But in a city as expensive as ours, they need local government on their side.
00:00 - We were incredibly proud to join @EspaillatNY for his endorsement of @ZohranKMamdani today. As Congressman Espaillat emphasized, it’s time to unify around our Democratic nominee. We look forward to continuing to build our winning coalition!
- HTC supports the people of Puerto Rico in demanding the immediate resignation of the island’s disgraced governor, Ricardo Rossello, who has been exposed as a misogynist, an anti-gay bigot, incompetent, and callously indifferent to the suffering of his people. #RickyRenuncia
00:00 - With just two weeks to go until early voting, HTC was proud to join thousands of union members, community leaders, activists, and volunteers tonight in Washington Heights to support our next Mayor, @ZohranKMamdani #UnionPowerIn twelve days, New Yorkers will begin to cast their ballots and face a stark choice. A choice between democracy and oligarchy. Between a city you can afford or more of the same. Between the hope of a brighter future or a broken past. We will choose the future.
- In NYC people accused of misdemeanors wait an average of 2-years for trial. Justice delayed is justice denied. We need #CriminalJusticeReform NOW!
00:00 - Team HTC is out in East New York for @ZohranKMamdani today! With one week until early voting kicks off, union members are knocking doors to talk to voters about Zohran for NYC Mayor!
- HTC’s statement on AG James’ report regarding sexual harassment claims against Governor Cuomo:
- The waiting period for striking workers to collect unemployment in New York is now the shortest in the country, thanks to @GovKathyHochul. This win comes just one year before our union’s city-wide contract is set to expire. “We are the most unionized state in America,” said
- New York is one of only 10 states where evidence can be withheld from a defendant until the day of trial, robbing people of a chance to prepare a fair defense.
- We need a Mayor in office with experience and a track record of putting working families first. Andrew Cuomo will be that Mayor. Earlier today, HTC members celebrated as State Senator and Labor Chair Jessica Ramos joined the coalition to elect @andrewcuomo!
