Two Major NYC Unions Drop Andrew Cuomo To Endorse Zohran Mamdani
HuffPost
The hotel workers' union and the building service workers' union represent more than 120,000 people in New York City.
Two major New York City labor unions that previously supported former Gov. Andrew Cuomo in this year’s race for mayor have dropped him to endorse Zohran Mamdani, the democratic socialist who won the Democratic primary.
The Hotel and Gaming Trades Council and 32BJ SEIU, which represents building service workers in the city, intend to back Mamdani, a 33-year-old state assemblyman, following his electrifying upset against Cuomo in the race for mayor, according to multiple reports.
The endorsements add another significant win for Mamdani: The hotel workers’ union represents 40,000 members in the city, while the building workers’ union represents an additional 85,000.
A third union, the New York State Nurses Association, also endorsed Mamdani. It represents 30,000 members in the city.
“We are confident that whenever we’re in a fight, Zohran will be on our side standing up for hospitality workers,” Rich Maroko, the Hotel and Gaming Trades Council’s president, told The New York Times. “That’s why we are genuinely excited to endorse Zohran and ready to help him win in November.”
