Two prominent labor unions in New York City, which initially supported Mayor Eric Adams in 2021, have shifted their allegiance to Andrew Cuomo, indicating his evolving influence in the mayoral race. The unions, representing over 125,000 members, previously worked with Cuomo but had called for his resignation amidst sexual harassment allegations. With a belief that Adams is politically waning, the unions now seek to align with Cuomo, who they portray as a reliable advocate for labor rights amidst federal challenges.
Now, they have concluded that Mr. Adams is fading politically and Mr. Cuomo is on an increasingly direct path to City Hall.
As Andrew Cuomo said when he recently addressed our members, when we need him in a fight, he will be in the foxhole with us until the end.
