Workers protested outside @govkathyhochul‘s office in Manhattan Dec. 17th to condemn her collusion with insurance and home care companies, and to demand billions of dollars in back wages. Their chant? “Governor Hochul, Enforce the Law, or Resign!”

Antonio Delgado @delgadoforny, Lieutenant Governor of New York State, sent his statement of support. “Home care workers – overwhelmingly women-of-color – do some of the hardest and most essential work in our state. Yet too many are forced into exhausting 24-hour shifts, denied the wages they have earned, and left fighting just to have labor law enforced. That is exploitation.”

Workers were joined by NYS Assemblymember Ron Kim @rk4ny , NYC Councilmember Christopher Marte @chrismartenyc , District Leader Vittoria Fariello @vittorianyc , and the Chief of Staff of Senator Jessica Ramos @__jessicaramos__ .

Ron Kim @rk4ny said, “If [Governor Hochul] doesn’t do the right thing, she’s corrupt! And we need to hold her accountable. Her election is coming and the people will remember this.”
