New York State AFL-CIO Gala: Thursday, December 12, 2019

Let's Make NY Next for Paid Family Leave

"Paid Family Leave is just as much a societal issue as it is a workplace issue," said New York State AFL-CIO President, Mario Cilento.

We applaud Speaker Heastie and Assemblywoman Nolan for their leadership and the Assembly Majority for their ongoing support on this critical issue."
