Manhattan -Today, the 2.5 million member New York State AFL-CIO announced the endorsements of candidates running for State Senate and Assembly. The endorsements took place at the State Federation's 33rd Constitutional Convention at the Sheraton NY Times Square Hotel in New York City. More than one thousand delegates, representing union members from the public sector, private sector and building trades, were in attendance. Mario Cilento, President of the New York State AFL-CIO, said, “All of these candidates understand the priorities of working men and women. They are committed to fighting hard for issues important to working people which is why we will fight hard to get them elected.” The New York State AFL-CIO is coordinating a grassroots campaign to educate our members on labor's position in these races and ensure our members get to the polls and support our endorsed candidates.
