City Workers Union Helps Block AFL-CIO Endorsement for Brad Lander

New York City's largest municipal workers union, DC-37, helped derail the NY State AFL-CIO's endorsement of Brad Lander in his deep-blue House district, citing Lander's audit of the Health Insurance Stabilization Fund that recommended dissolving the fund and his opposition to retirees' Medicare Advantage; Lander's campaign highlights his record supporting workers and organizing, while a potential endorsement of socialist Darializa Avila Chevalier remains on hold and some labor leaders worry about a unified front ahead of the November elections.
