NYS AFL-CIO Endorsement for Cuomo in Flux

JON LENTZ

Four years ago the New York State AFL-CIO lined up behind Attorney General Andrew Cuomo’s candidacy for governor, even though the state teachers union, an influential player within the broader labor coalition, did not support him.

This year the New York State United Teachers (NYSUT) has again declined to endorse Cuomo, but the teachers union is going a step further by trying to block the state AFL-CIO from endorsing the governor’s reelection bid, sources told City & State.
