With the NYC mayoral primary approaching, the United Auto Workers (UAW) publicly endorsed candidate Zohran Mamdani, criticizing former governor Andrew Cuomo's suitability for the role. The UAW released a video featuring Mamdani and others, denouncing Cuomo’s past actions, including his support of the unpopular "Tier 6" pension policy and inaction during a strike affecting thousands of workers. UAW President Shawn Fain emphasized the importance of support for candidates that stand for working-class rights, showcasing Mamdani’s commitment to labor issues through his active participation in union efforts.
"In the UAW, our endorsements are earned. We support politicians who stand with us, and who have the courage to fight for the working class."
"Zohran Mamdani has stood shoulder to shoulder with us in our fight against some of the toughest bosses in New York City. He's been to countless UAW picket lines."
