(NEW YORK CITY) - In 2024, the New York City AFL-CIO Central Labor Council strengthened its partnerships with its Affiliates across the City, helping bring victories in tough contract fights, while advocating for policies that protect and uplift Working People.

The Labor Council walked picket lines, lobbied for critical legislation, engaged voters and more, and none of it would have been possible without those Unions and their Members.

Their solidarity and engagement are the heart of this Movement, and we thank you for everything you do, the Council said.

And there’s still much more work to be done.

New York City’s Workers face persistent challenges, among them wage inequality, the rise of unregulated technology and employers who stubbornly refuse to come to the table in good faith.

The Labor Council knows too that there will be unprecedented challenges brought by the incoming White House Administration and U.S. Congress.

The New York City Labor Council stands committed to empowering and protecting all Working People, including the Immigrant Workers and their families who contribute so much to our City’s rich cultural fabric, economic strength and Labor Movement.

Looking ahead, the Labor Council Executive Board has adopted a resolution launching the 2025 NYC Labor Votes! Program, which will engage Affiliates and coordinate collective resources to create a program that benefits all Working Families.

Labor Votes! 2025 will ensure Labor Council Affiliates can access the necessary information, training and shared resources to implement a successful Member-to-Member civic and political program for the upcoming Citywide and City Council elections.
