Incredible day at @SUNY Adirondack! Met President Anastasia Urtz to chat about direct-to-work training, including their new paramedics course.

Seeing their high-tech simulation labs firsthand, it’s clear they are shaping the future of our workforce! 🚀🩺

During Construction Suicide Prevention Week, it’s especially important to acknowledge the vital work of the Peer Support Network in uplifting one another and raising awareness, because no one should bear this burden alone.

I was honored to celebrate Building Trades Peer Support Network graduates and recognize @NYSBCTC and affiliates for changing the culture around mental health in the trades—creating space to talk openly and showing that unions look out for the whole person.

25 years after 9/11, New York remembers the workers who ran toward danger and stayed to help NYC recover.

@NYSDOLCommish joined @GovKathyHochul, @NYCMayor, @DMJulieSu, union leaders and members for the @CentralLaborNYC 2026 NYC Labor Day Rally & March.

[NYS Department of Labor @NYSLabor]

25 years ago, New York—and our country—changed forever.

Today we remember the lives lost, honor those who answered the call, and stand with everyone still living with the lasting impact of September 11, 2001. 💙

[NYS Department of Labor @NYSLabor]

Labor Day started with workers—and that’s exactly who we’re celebrating today.

We’re proud that the nation’s first Labor Day celebration happened right here in New York City.

Happy Labor Day, New York! 💙
