NY’s hard hat Laborers’ Union with 40K members backs Andrew Cuomo for NYC mayor

Andrew Cuomo has picked up another key hard hat endorsement Tuesday in the race for New York City mayor, winning the backing of the Laborers’ International Union.

The New York affiliate of the Laborers Union represents 40,000 members in New York State, which further cements the former governor’s support within the construction trades.

The union backed Cuomo’s rival in the June Democratic primary, former city Comptroller Scott Stringer, in the 2021 mayor’s race.

“New York City is the cultural, economic, and social engine of the world—and leading it requires vision, grit, and proven experience,” said Donato Bianco, Jr., LIUNA vice president.

I guess these workers did not have any parents or grandparents die in Cuomo nursing homes.

Cuomo groped women.

Some hard hat laborers whistle at women.

Is that the connection?

I knew a guy who worked construction there in the 60’s. On payday he had to give money to the supervisor who was part of the mafia. The mafia ran the construction business in those days.

The union leadership backs him.

Does the rank and file?

NYC now has RCV for mayorals for a reason...

Makes sense actually. It’s a rebuke of Kathy Hochul.

I guess the majority of them, didn’t have a family member exterminated by him, or they would feel a little different.

Stepping stone for nomination to the Democrat-Socialist ticket for President or Vice President in 2028.

Because of his “hiatus” from elective politics, he can be trotted out as a “new face” of the sort of moderate wing that still remains in the Democrat party.

We don’t know how the rank and file feels.

Just it’s so-called leadership.

But given that NYC now has RCV, I don’t think we should assume that the majority of Gotham’s voters would willingly vote for annihilation.

“ Kickbacks and payoffs are important”

Especially to Union leadership.

Andrew Cuomo killed at least 19,000 people during the illegal covid lockdown. That is nearly half the members of that union.
They should thinks about that.
