Powerful 32BJ union to endorse Keith Powers (D) for Manhattan borough president
One of the city’s most influential unions, 32BJ, will endorse Keith Powers for Manhattan borough president.
“Housing is a critical issue for members of 32BJ SEIU and all New Yorkers,” 32BJ SEIU President Manny Pastreich said in a statement. “Throughout his time on the City Council, Council Member Keith Powers has been a consistent champion for building more affordable housing in New York.”
Pastreich said Powers’ support of the Adams administration’s City of Yes for Housing Opportunity citywide zoning plan and advocating for union jobs were reasons to put the union’s weight behind the current Council member.
The union represents thousands of service industry workers.
