Statement
Issues: Labor Unions
"Earlier today, I spoke to union leadership at IATSE to express my support for their advocacy for working people in the entertainment industry, and I am pleased that IATSE and AMPTP reached a tentative agreement that is fair to workers and protects the good-paying middle class jobs this sector creates. The film and television industry is a crucial part of New York, generating tens of thousands of jobs and billions of dollars in economic activity. Together, we'll continue New York's recovery from the pandemic and make sure working families can continue to thrive in this state."
