Local 983 President Joe Puleo kicks off a labor rally his union sponsored with DC 37 and SSEU Local 371 in Foley Square to send a message to the NYC Council, Mayor de Blasio, and the State Legislature that 22,000 layoffs were not an option for balancing the budget. That rally proved successful! From left: DC 37 Executive Director Henry Garrido, Local 371 President Anthony Wells, and Puleo. Pictured at top: union members came out with signs to remind electeds that city workers are essential workers.
