1/7 — In his first 100 days, @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social has shown what’s possible when working people are at the center and the needs of New Yorkers drive the city’s agenda.
For @workersjusticep.bsky.social who are organizing 80,000 app delivery workers, this has been a true labor of love ❤️✊🏾
Facing opposition from the mayor and stalling from City Council, home care workers are escalating their fight.
Delivery workers now have a place to rest and recharge near City Hall, the first of three proposed hub locations citywide.

How's Z doing on labor matters so far? In short: pretty well (and way better than his predecessor), but certainly room to improve.
Excellent summary here by @amirkhafagy.bsky.social on @documentedny.bsky.social.
Since taking office, Mayor Zohran Mamdani has hit the ground running on labor issues, with numerous early wins. But some challenges threaten his pro-labor image.

The Realty Advisory Board says building owners can't pay @32bjseiu.bsky.social's workers fair wages because Zohran plans to freeze the rent.
Maybe if building owners didn't use their rental income to acquire more debt to buy more buildings, they'd be able to take care of the ones they already have.
