No one throws a party like NYC, no one embodies joy like @seiupres.bsky.social President April Verrett, no union throws down like @seiu.org , and no one is worth celebrating like the working people of this country and around the world.

So often when people talk about the fashion industry, garment workers are an afterthought. Not for @mayor.nyc.gov and not for me.

May the 4th be with you. #workersgetitdone #friendseverywhere #starwars

Thank you, Contract Faculty United, WCM Postdoc Union, podcast producers with @wgaeast.bsky.social, the first unionized Barnes & Noble workers in the nation with RWDSU UFCW 1102, and International Rescue Committee caseworkers and researchers with OPEIU Local 153 for showing the way.

I owe my position as Mayor of New York City to the power of working people and I will always govern with them in mind. 

We’ve delivered millions of dollars in corporate settlements to workers — nearly $100K each day we’ve been in office. 

We’re just getting started. Happy May Day, New York.

There is no NYC without unions. A people united and organized cannot be defeated. Together, we're showing the world what solidarity means.

I see @mayor.nyc.gov give his all every single day to do what government is supposed to do — make life better for people. It’s worth it.

The World Cup is coming to our backyard, & we’re making sure every New Yorker can be a part of it. This summer, FIFA fan events will be free in all 5 boroughs. Info at nynjfwc26.com. Thank you to the NYNJ Host Committee & Governor Hochul for helping make this summer of soccer affordable for all.

We just dropped a limited batch of $5 tickets at gothamfc.com/mayor for the Gotham FC May 9th home game vs. Boston Legacy. I'll be there. Will you? Grab a $5 ticket at gothamfc.com/mayor before they're gone!

It is always a privilege when someone is willing to share their story with you. I first met Dawn Kelly when @nycsmallbiz.bsky.social commissioner Kenny Minaya and I invited small businesses to City Hall to tell us how we could support them. Dawn was clear and she was critical.

Thank you to the NYC District Council of Carpenters and my old friend Pete Rodriguez for coming in. So happy to work with you to grow good jobs, training, and prosperity for all New Yorkers.

We carry a responsibility to prove that government is worthy of the people it serves. A week ago, we marked our first 100 days. We will work every day to honor the promises we made to New Yorkers — and to fulfill the mission of the movement that brought us here.

Workers have a right to form & join unions and to bargain first contracts but the reality is it’s still too hard. Proud to stand with workers, NYC unions, @flyingwithsara.bsky.social, @sanders.senate.gov, Manny Pastreich, Henry Garrido @dc37nyc.bsky.social, @mayor.nyc.gov at the launch of Union Now.

We’re just getting started. Next 100–let’s go! Thank you, @ddayen.bsky.social for the detailed reporting, and hi, Secretary @rbreich.bsky.social!

4 years ago, New Yorkers voted for NYC to take seriously the racial inequity that’s too pervasive. But they were forced to wait. Until now. In the first 100 days, @mayor.nyc.gov Mamdani’s administration released the first ever citywide Preliminary Racial Equity Plan & the True Cost of Living Measure

Dolores Huerta is as impactful in her 90s as she’s been throughout her life. A fighter, survivor, organizer, union leader, visionary, sister and friend. Feliz cumpleanos a nuestra heroe. #sisepuede💪🏽

Today is Frances Perkins’ birthday. West 46th Street between 9th & 10th Ave was renamed “Frances Perkins Place” in 2022 to honor her legacy.

❤️ (@maymauveine.com, this was perfect)

This settlement puts money back in the pockets of hundreds of immigrant-owned businesses, and it's a clear message to every platform in this city: we are watching the fine print.

When advocates & community organizers run and get elected to office, their hope, strength, organizing skills, and ambition about what’s possible not only transform WHAT policies are passed but WHO gets to decide. Great seeing you today @dianaforqueens.com!👸🏽

“How much could really get done in 100 days?” ✔️Put $8.5 million in stolen wages back in the pockets of New Yorkers who earned it. From the fast food workers to delivery drivers, we will always defend the hard-working people of New York City against fraudulent employers.

Deputy Mayors, Assemble🗽

Always love the chance to meet workers organizing for a better life for themselves and others and negotiating their first contract. Keep it up, @sbworkersunited.org!

The Triangle Shirtwaist commemoration honored 146 mostly immigrant women who lost their lives in the 1911 fire. Their deaths weren’t just a tragedy. They were the result of workers having no voice, no power, and no protection. That fight isn’t over.

Government must deliver for working people—and every dollar in our budget should work as hard as they do. That’s why I directed every agency to cut waste and help close our budget gap. Here’s some of what we found.

Three decades after winning a landmark case to protect Thai workers, Mayor Mamdani's Deputy Mayor for Economic Justice Julie Su reflects on the lessons she’s learned and looks ahead to how NYC can become a pro-worker capital. @hamiltonnolan.bsky.social reports. inthesetimes.com/article/juli...

Love to all who also loved Lora Jo Foo. It’s been comforting to share stories and memories with many of you. juliesulabor.substack.com/p/loras-life...

Please read this brilliant piece. Rini Chakraborty has persistently remade the landscape as a philanthropic and community leader but she points to where there is more to do and how to do it.

Such an honor to be the first Deputy Mayor for Economic Justice. It is both by definition and by breadth a reflection of @mayor.nyc.gov’s commitment to using every tool in this city’s portfolio to make life better for working class New Yorkers.

In 2015, Chinatown Tenants Union helped win the first rent freeze in 46 years. Today, Deputy Mayor Julie Su is helping working-class families in Chinatown who are once again facing housing instability. Register to attend a Rental Ripoff Hearing or submit a testimony at rentalripoffs.nyc.gov

President Roxanne Brown!! Congrats to my friend and history-making leader on her installation as International President of @steelworkers.bsky.social

Ringing in the year of the horse with @mayor.nyc.gov, CAAAV, the legendary May Chen, and the Chinatown Tenants Union. Some of these organizers are former garment workers!

Loved seeing @bradlander.bsky.social! I’ve welcomed him to the US Department of Labor and met with him in the White House. This time we were celebrating working people in Chinatown.

A wonderful night at the @wgaeast.bsky.social 78th Writers Guild Awards celebrating writers and the power of unions. Thank you Tom Fontana and Sam Wheeler. Congratulations to all the nominees & honorees. Writers give the best acceptance speeches!

We continue to build a team worthy of New Yorkers and the bold ambitions of the Mamdani administration. The latest addition is Diya Vij. Together we will make sure that art & artists are celebrated, culture and community are valued, and all of it creates more economic justice. Welcome aboard, Diya!

Heads up, New York families: time’s running out! Free 3-K and Pre-K enrollment closes 2/27. Make sure your kids don’t miss out → myschools.nyc

In law school, we organized a symposium commemorating Stonewall at 25, brought LGBTQ+ leaders to campus, and published pieces on LGBTQ+ rights. As a mom, I brought my kids to visit the Stonewall Inn to learn about the history of civil rights that started there. Nice to see the flag flying proudly.🏳️‍🌈

Today, @NYCMayor took a selfie with us (@LosDeliveristas), @TransAlt, @OpenPlans, + many more transportation advocate partners after committing to new bus lanes and bike lanes for workers and communities like us — the people who keep this city moving. Thank you, @NYCMayor! 🚌🚲

Delivery workers keep our city running, rain or shine. I’m grateful for all they do—and for the chance to meet with them and Deputy Mayor Julie Su as we work to protect their wages and tips.

Zohran Mamdani has hit the ground running, taking on junk fees and wage theft to make NYC more affordable. I recently spoke with his Deputy Mayor for Economic Justice (and fellow former Labor Secretary) Julie Su about these early wins and what to expect next.

"We don't just care how people who sit in C-suites are doing. We care about how those who clean C-suites are doing too." NYC Deputy Mayor Julie Su explains why we must center working people in economic policy-making.

Resharing something I wrote last summer (link below), when the reign of terror of this federal admin was in full swing. Since then, I took my other kid to Death Valley in December. And the brutal attacks on immigrants have expanded dramatically and their violence has escalated.

As the federal administration’s brutality and racism continue to escalate, I joined Robert Reich to say: attacking immigrant workers doesn’t help American-born workers. Protecting vulnerable workers improves standards and safety for everyone no matter where they were born.

As the federal government shows brutality that knows no bounds, NYC says not on our watch.

Celebrating the Canarsie Public Library @bklynlibrary.bsky.social groundbreaking. #brooklyn #blackhistorymonth

Proud to celebrate the talented members of the @wgaeast.bsky.social and share the same commitment to growing the industry & union jobs.

First week of February. ❄️ It’s cold but it warms my heart to meet with and learn about the issues facing NYC’s workers—from union members who work on set 🎬 & behind the scenes 🎞️🎧 to those fighting for their first contract 💪🏾 like the @sesameworkersunion 🍪.

ICYMI, a Friday conversation with my good friend, @rbreich.bsky.social

Important article by Chris Brooks about @uaw.org’s 1st contract with VW in Chattanooga, TN. I remember when the workers first voted to unionize. They saw the power of a union because of UAW’s history-making contract with the Big 3. Congrats to these workers for showing the way in the South!
