John,

On Tuesday, I had the honor of joining national labor leaders and the managers of several major pension funds at the White House for a conversation about workers’ rights.

I was proud to represent New York City and the important work we’ve done advocating for better labor practices on behalf of NYC pension funds.

Alongside National Economic Advisor Lael Brainard and Acting Secretary of Labor Julie Su, we talked about how ensuring workers’ rights are respected in our private equity investments is good for workers, good for our economy, and good for returns.

Acting Secretary Julie Su and I.

As New York City Comptroller, my office is responsible for the retirement security of the City’s 800,000 current and retired public sector workers. I know firsthand that a thriving economy is one that works for workers, and that’s true for investors as well.

From urging major companies like Starbucks and Chipotle to agree to uphold workers’ rights, to recovering over $8 million in back wages and civil penalties owed to workers since 2022, I’ll always come down on the side of labor.

After all, workers are the backbone of New York City, and they deserve to be treated fairly and with respect.

John, my work to build a more equal and inclusive economy for NYC workers is ongoing, but I need your help to keep it up. If you’re able, will you make a contribution to help me continue standing up for hardworking New Yorkers?
