Solidarity with New York State Nurses Association who are fighting for safe staffing and a fair contract to protect patient care!

If The Mount Sinai Hospital, NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital, and Montefiore Health System force their nearly 15,000 nurses out on strike, NYC’s unions will stand with them on the picket line tomorrow.

Nurses are ready to bargain all day and night to try to avert a strike tomorrow.

However, if Mount Sinai, NewYork-Presbyterian, and Montefiore force nurses to go out on strike, join the nearly 15k nurses on the picket line tomorrow and help them win a great contract!

Today, UAW President Shawn Fain, NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani, and fellow UAW members joined Assembly Member Claire Valdez to launch her campaign for Congress in New York’s 7th Congressional District spanning North Brooklyn and Western Queens.

Mayor Mamdani said Claire’s experience as a member of UAW Local 2110 would be valuable in Washington. “I truly believe that we need a labor organizer in Congress,” he said. “We need someone who will put forward that same agenda for the working class, whether it's legislation to make it easier to join a union or to fight for Medicare for All.”

“Corporations and billionaires are doing everything they can to crush the working class. The only way we can take on the crises in front of us is if we have more workers representing us in the halls of power,” said President Fain. “That is why I am proud to stand with UAW member Claire Valdez in her run for Congress. Claire will fight like hell for dignity, fairness, and justice for all workers. This is exactly how the labor movement can fight back against corporate greed and inequality: by electing more of our own. UAW is excited to send Claire to Congress to deliver for the working class.”

Following months of advocacy by UAW members, New York Governor Kathy Hochul and NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani today announced an unprecedented investment with the goal of expanding child care to all 4-year-olds in New York State by the fall of 2028.

In recent months, UAW members have taken action to expand universal child care across the state. The New York State CAP Council, composed of local unions from Region 9A and UAW Region 9, made winning statewide universal childcare our priority for the 2026 legislative session.
