Wow. All due respect to the “Big 3” that LeBron created, this is a squad I wouldn’t want to face off against in Albany or anywhere else. 32BJ SEIU /// #BuildingJustice 🧹✊🏽 Hotel and Gaming Trades Council District Council 37 #UnionStrong joining together to push for a housing deal is a big deal.

Not shown here is Mason trying to take one of the many Emmy Awards on display home with him. But getting a backstage tour with the amazing Errol Louis (@errol.louis on Threads) had him smiling all night.

Interesting op-ed by 3 major labor leaders calling for compromise housing package from Albany w/ 421-a replacement, office-resi conversions, labor standards, & good cause eviction. Makes key point that housing supply is essential to empowering tenants amny.com/opinion/albany…

Another great example Hotel and Gaming Trades Council fighting for working families. Unemployment benefits should be a short term safety net to get people through tough times. But at less than the minimum wage that net has more holes than Swiss cheese and too many people are falling into poverty.

Anyone can lose their job. 400,000 New Yorkers do every year. But at only $504 a week, just over $12 an hour, unemployment insurance doesn't cover the rising costs of rent, food and utilities. It is time to fix unemployment insurance.

“It is time Albany meets the urgency of this moment and comes together with a real plan that will meet and sustain the housing needs of all New Yorkers, across every income level, and throughout every corner of our city and state.” - stated Manny Pastreich, President of 32BJ SEIU /// #BuildingJustice 🧹✊🏽

HTC thanks Adrienne Adams & City Council for approving the casino text amendment and allowing proposals in NYC to participate in the bidding process. We look forward to seeing the creation of 1000s of the best hospitality jobs in NY!

The unions, advocates and lawmakers who made this happen deserve credit for saying yes to progress. Manny Pastreich, prez 32BJ SEIU /// #BuildingJustice 🧹✊🏽 touted these “strong… tenant protections” paired with construction incentives and welcome wage standards for his members. citylimits.org/2024/04/20/nys…

Mind boggling that a “nonprofit” hospital thinks they can get away with demanding $25M just to be excluded from a 32BJ SEIU /// #BuildingJustice 🧹✊🏽’s health plan. Disgraceful and disreputable business practices like this are a stain on our healthcare system.

Our airport workers take a great deal of pride in what we do and the role we play in keeping travelers safe and satisfied… Without an increase in healthcare benefits, there’s just no way we will be able to keep pace with the mounting costs. brnw.ch/21wKwrn

The city's five district attorneys and state attorney general agree that my bill helps address the safety concerns we seek to resolve by licensing hotels in NYC. 👇 subscriber.politicopro.com/article/2024/0…

As has been the case for the past 10 years Jenn Shafran has left me speechless. Not just because she doesn’t let me get a word in (sometimes) but because her love, friendship and companionship is indescribably great.

As a City Council member, I introduced legislation to set minimum safety, health and worker protection standards in hotels. As BP, I fully endorse Julie Menin's Safe Hotels Act, which will expand on that foundation. Read my QNS op-ed to learn more: qns.com/2024/08/op-ed-…

New York-Presbyterian has long claimed to serve New Yorkers, but their financial actions tell a different story. Despite receiving millions in tax breaks — more than any other hospital in New York City — @NYPHospital is falling short of its commitments to our communities.
