“The healthcare workers of 1199SEIU passionately support Mayor de Blasio’s efforts to ensure more affordable housing, address income inequality and make our city a place where all New Yorkers can thrive. Mayor de Blasio’s initiatives to build more affordable housing units, raise the minimum wage, protect tenant rights, end homelessness among veterans, expand senior housing, support artists and enhance public transportation represent the kind of bold progressive leadership that our city and our country desperately needs right now. Not only will these initiatives help working New Yorkers, they will protect the core spirit of what makes our city great- our diversity, our creative minds and the opportunity to achieve your dreams through hard work. Our 400,000 members will do whatever it takes to continue to support the Mayor’s progressive vision of making New York work for everyone, not just the wealthy few.”
