Additionally, Gresham said Gov. Cuomo “has been on the frontlines with the working men and women of 1199SEIU. We are proud to endorse him for re-election.”
Gov. Cuomo implemented economic justice programs
On the other hand, the New York governor said he is humbled by the support of the healthcare union.
Gov. Cuomo said people are concerned that no one is looking out for them. They are seeing what’s going on in Washington. They observed that Republicans prioritized giving tax cuts to hedge fund managers at the expense of the working class.
“We’re here to send them a message: We hear you. All New York hears you. And alongside 1199, we have beaten the odds on issue after issue and delivered tremendous results for New York’s working class.”
Last month, Gov. Cuomo announced economic justice programs including minimum wage hikes, tax cut, and paid family leave policy.
In 2016, he signed into law a legislation authorizing a $15 per hour minimum wage across New York. This year, the state government implemented its new paid family leave policy. More than six million middle-class taxpayers will benefit from the state’s lower tax rates this year.
