>32BJ SEIU and the Hotel and Games Trade Council said Friday they were abandoning their earlier endorsement of sex pest and disgraced former Gov. Andrew Cuomo in favor of supporting Mamdani. The New York State Nurses Association, which did not support a candidate in the primary, also endorsed Mamdani for the general election. Together, the three unions represent 267,000 workers.
>“What Mamdani has that is a great advantage is that he’s bringing an optimistic, positive vision that isn’t tainted,” 32BJ SEIU President Manny Pastreich told the Prospect. Though 300 of the union’s members met with and ranked all nine mayoral candidates for the primary, its executive board ultimately made the call to endorse Cuomo, he said. The board met Friday at noon and announced their new endorsement shortly afterward.

This is the part where Fox News and possibly CNN announce that this is „tearing apart the democratic party“. Expect it to start in 3… 2… Go. 😉

Did union endorsements help Kamala? I thought I saw that the majority of union members went for Trump. I think the women/brown/black/immigrant background was too much to stomach, so they voted to screw themselves instead.
Wondering if they learned a lesson, or….?

Strangely, zero „Mamdani“ posts show up in searches in /r/Liberal, /r/Progressive, and /r/Democrats. Almost like the establishment would rather go down sinking with their status quo and just blame Republicans for all the problems.

Mamdani’s been super consistent on labor issues and always shows up for workers.
