This is disgusting and unacceptable. As workers endure another stifling heat wave, the TEMP Act has never been more essential.
"In the wake of the state’s failure to pass workplace heat protections this legislative session, labor rights advocates are calling a memo that urged lawmakers to vote against the bill racist." documentedny.com/2025/07/09/tem…
🚨 BREAKING: Thirty New York State and City officials have signed a joint letter demanding that Amazon be held accountable for unsafe and illegal working conditions.
It's Amazon Prime Day and we know what that means: worker injuries will spike while Amazon rakes in the profits. But we won't stop fighting until every Amazon worker has safety and a voice on the job. Our statement: alignny.org/press/amazonpr…
Congress voted to pass the largest job-killing bill in history. Congress voted to take away health care from 17 million people to pay for tax breaks for billionaires. Congress voted to take away food assistance from 3 million people. Congress voted to betray working people.
.@DelgadoforNY is right that we have an economy that prioritizes billionaires and corporations over working class New Yorkers. We need NYS leaders to step up in raising the minimum wage and taxing the rich. #RaiseTheWage #RaiseUpNY
It’s clear the current economy isn’t working for everyday New Yorkers. Instead of corporate bailouts, we need to invest in people-first economic development. That means raising the minimum wage and taxing the ultra-wealthy so that people and families can work their way up into…
Nearly 40% of workers in Tompkins County earn less than a living wage. That is unacceptable. Workers and community organizations in Tompkins County are fighting to #RaiseTheWage so working families don't have to make compromises on food, utilities, and rent. #RaiseUpNY
Statement on the RCV results released today: "As labor coalesces support for a campaign that’s pledged to raise the wage and invest in families, it’s clear that New Yorkers are hungry to turn the page for a healthy, affordable city and a dignified life," says ED @MooreProgress
Exciting progress on the Tompkins County living wage campaign!
Workers in Tompkins County simply can't make ends meet with a $15.50/hr minimum wage. That's why @TCWorkersCenter, unions, and community groups are fighting to #RaiseTheWage to a living wage, currently calculated at $24.82/hr. ▶️wbng.com/2025/06/22/tow…

🚨 Extreme Heat Warning in Effect! Extreme heat and humidity can be dangerous for workers whose jobs keep them outside. Stay cool, stay hydrated, and check on your neighbors. Minimize strenuous activity during peak hours. 📍 Need a cooling center? finder.nyc.gov/coolingcenters/
100-degree days make the state's failure to pass the TEMP Act even more frustrating—especially with @realdonaldtrump rolling back protections on the federal level. If the state won't act, it's crucial the City propose laws for local safety standards. documentedny.com/2025/06/24/new…
It's a shame that the NYS legislature failed to pass the TEMP bill, which would regulate extreme heat in workplaces In NYC alone, 580 people die from heat-related causes annually The fight for basic heat protections for workers continues. @AmirKhafagy91: documentedny.com/2025/06/24/new…
"When workers and climate are under attack, New York must stand up and fight back. Instead, our legislative leaders ended the session with a whimper," says ED @MooreProgress Our statement as the 2025 legislative session ends:
☀️ALIGN Summer Party!🎉 Thank you to everyone who came to celebrate the end of the legislative session and toast our new office! We are grateful to be part of a movement fighting for a New York that works for all of us.
“The arrest of @NYCComptroller Brad Lander by ICE is deeply disturbing and raises serious concerns about the agency’s conduct,” said New York City Central Labor Council, AFL-CIO President Vincent Alvarez. thecity.nyc/2025/06/17/bra…
