HTC volunteers are in Bay Ridge tonight, mobilizing New Yorkers to vote for @chrismccreight for State Assembly!
Kathy Hochul fights for working people. From improving unemployment benefits to walking the picket line, she has shown up for us time and time again. And we have no doubt that she will continue to support us every step of the way.
From the picket line to the polls, we're with @KathyHochul all the way 💙
A beautiful afternoon in Brooklyn rallying with @ZohranKMamdani to support @KathyHochul & @TishJames!
Every door we knock, every voter we reach, is one conversation closer to re-electing leaders that fight for working people.
#UNIONPOWER 💙
HTC volunteers joined @CoryBooker and @middlesexdems yesterday in Sayreville to support pro-union candidates! Let’s go Middlesex Dems!

You can feel the union power in the streets today! In Sunset Park, HTC volunteers and @graceleefornyc went door to door to turn out voters for @joycefornewyork for State Assembly!
Kicking off early voting in Woodhaven this morning with @ZohranKMamdani to support @claireforny & @david4queens.
"We need more people in office for whom their track record is fighting for workers and who dream of continuing that fight," said Mayor Mamdani.
This is exactly who Claire Valdez and David Orkin are.
Whether it’s throughout the hospitality or delivery industry, we’ve seen how crucial direct employment is to ensuring workers receive the protections, wages, and dignity they deserve.
HTC was proud to stand with labor and elected officials today to support the Delivery Protection Act, which will improve the lives of thousands of workers across our city.
TEAMSTERS RALLY FOR DELIVERY PROTECTION ACT AT NEW YORK CITY HALL
Today, Teamsters General President Sean M. O’Brien joined hundreds of rank-and-file Amazon Teamsters and New York City elected officials, including Mayor Zohran Mamdani, for a rally at City Hall urging Council Speaker Julie Menin to schedule an immediate vote on the Delivery Protection Act.
The Delivery Protection Act, authored by Councilmember Tiffany Cabán (D-22nd District), would require delivery companies like Amazon to register their facilities with the city and ban subcontracting for last-mile delivery drivers in the five boroughs. Amazon uses a corrupt subcontracting model in which third-party “Delivery Service Partners” shield the company from legal liability while making billions in profit. The bill is supported by a majority of the City Council and Mayor Mamdani.
“Amazon is America’s most corrupt white-collar crime syndicate, wasting millions to rob warehouse workers of the right to collectively bargain while designing a nationwide subcontracting scheme to deny employment rights to its entire fleet of delivery drivers,” O’Brien said. “New York City is a vital artery of Amazon’s global logistics operations, and it must be the first city to pass the Delivery Protection Act. Amazon’s unchecked exploitation of drivers and parcel delivery workers has got to end. The Teamsters are honored to lead the fight to fix a broken system stacked against working people, and we thank Mayor Mamdani, Councilmember Cabán, and the supermajority of the City Council for standing with workers at this critical moment.”

Honored to receive the endorsement of @NYHTC, whose disciplined organizing I have always admired. It's that organizing that won them historic contract just this summer.
"Claire Valdez is a union organizer at heart, and she has made that clear with the values, priorities, and energy she has demonstrated throughout her time in public service. We’re proud to endorse Claire as she continues to put hardworking New Yorkers and the labor movement at the forefront of her work." - HTC President Rich Maroko.
Two dozen HTC volunteers went door to door in South Brooklyn last night for @joeycsaban for State Assembly. This is what union power looks like!
