TWU Local 101 Endorses Democrat Sal Albanese for NYC Mayor at February Section Meeting

Former City Council member Sal Albanese is shifting the debate among mayoral candidates to a serious discussion about the welfare of the city's working men and women, and their families. Albanese takes an uncompromising stand against political corruption, special interest group influence, and public servants serving corporate interests that undermine the well-being of the working class. A retired public school teacher, Albanese has gold-plated union credentials and understands the needs and vulnerabilities of the next generation. As a private-sector union, we join the Machinists, along with several public sector unions in supporting Albanese's candidacy and run for mayor.
