It’s been a busy week for New York’s excluded workers as they made stops at three Bronx lawmakers’ offices — as a part of a multi-week effort to march to Albany — calling on them to support workers through funding avenues before the April 1 state budget deadline.
On Tuesday, workers and their advocates put pressure on Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie and Assemblymember and Labor Committee Chair Latoya Joyner, both Democrats, with marches to their Bronx offices in Gun Hill and Grand Concourse. On Wednesday morning, the group rallied in front of Assemblymember Michael Benedetto’s office building in Co-Op City, hoping to compel support.
