NY-06: Rep. Grace Meng receives endorsement of hospitality and carpenters unions in re-election bid
U.S. Rep. Grace Meng, the incumbent for Queens Congressional District 6 challenged by Chuck Park, received the endorsements of Unite Here Local 100 and the District Council of Carpenters (NYCDCC) in her bid for re-election.
Local 100 represents roughly 17,000 workers across New York City’s hotels, restaurants, airport terminals and food service operations.
Meng said the union has fought for decades for tens of thousands of New York workers, and it has helped many across the city achieve a better quality of life by major winning wage increases, stronger health care coverage and better working conditions that let members build stable lives for their families.
“Unite Here Local 100 has always been built around the simple and powerful idea that a hard day’s work should translate into a good life,” Meng said. “Working people should be able to pay their rent, take their kids to the doctor, and build something real for their family without fear of financial instability. That’s not too much to ask.”
