"What Mamdani has that is a great advantage is that he's bringing an optimistic, positive vision that isn't tainted, said 32BJ SEIU President Manny Pastreich."
"Mamdani can build a very, very strong governing coalition by building out the incredible things he's already done, Pastreich explained."
In the wake of Zohran Mamdani's primary victory for New York City mayor, organized labor has made a significant shift in endorsements, moving away from support for former Gov. Andrew Cuomo. Unions representing a substantial workforce, including 32BJ SEIU and the New York State Nurses Association, have rallied behind Mamdani, emphasizing his positive vision. This coalition represents 267,000 workers and indicates a strategic effort to build a broader governing coalition for his campaign, highlighting a contrast with scandal-laden opponents like Cuomo and Eric Adams.
