The New York City Labor Movement is celebrating Zohran Mamdani’s victory and the clear message New Yorkers have sent about the kind of City they want to build together. The New York City AFL-CIO Central Labor Council’s endorsement reflected his commitment to working Families and a fairer economy for all through the creation of good Union jobs. His people-powered campaign inspired hope and showed what’s possible when Working People lead the way. The Labor Council congratulates Mayor-elect Mamdani and looks forward to partnering with him to turn his vision into action. The same energy carried through every race on the ballot. From Citywide Offices to all 31 endorsed City Council candidates, every single Labor Council endorsed candidate won their race. Of these, the successful election of Labor Leader and candidate Shirley Aldebol, who defeated an incumbent Council Member in the Northeast Bronx, deserves special acknowledgement. Across the five Boroughs, the NYC Labor Votes! Coalition mobilized hundreds of Union Members and contacted nearly 90,000 Union households through door-to-door outreach, calls and targeted mail, helping elect candidates who share Labor’s vision for a City that puts Working Families first. Together, New York City’s Unions sent a clear message that when Working People stand together, we win.
