Brad Lander's campaign for mayor has gained significant momentum with the endorsement of Transport Workers Union Local 320, marking a historic first for the union, which represents bike-share workers. Lander's focus on safety, fair wages, and strong collective bargaining agreements resonated with the local union leaders, showcasing his dedication to worker rights and highlighting his historic support for Citi Bike operations. In contrast, the larger MTA workers' union, TWU Local 100, has remained neutral in the mayoral race, indicating their priorities are currently more state-focused than city-centric, unlike Lander's local advocacy.
Local 320 President Edwin Aviles called Lander 'the one and only person in NYC government who has ever publicly recognized and championed safety, fair wages, and a fair Collective Bargaining Agreement.'
The TWU Micro-Mobility Workers Local 320's endorsement came in the form of a letter, representing bike-share workers in nine major cities.
