“#NYC’s largest city workers’ union backs Eric Adams for mayor<\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

\n

The city\u2019s largest municipal workers\u2019 union, District Council 37, announced Wednesday it\u2019s backing Eric Adams for mayor and Corey Johnson for comptroller.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s the second major labor endorsement picked up by Adams, the Brooklyn borough president and ex-cop.<\/p>\n

Last week, he won the support of the Hotel Trades Council.<\/p>\n

DC 37 represents 150,000 workers and 50,000 retirees.<\/p>\n

Johnson, the city council speaker who withdrew his bid for mayor last year while struggling with depression during the coronavirus pandemic, just entered the comptroller\u2019s race on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

The Democratic primary for mayor will be held on June 22 and unions are beginning to take sides.<\/p>\n

Another powerful union, SEIU Local 1199 representing health care workers, endorsed Maya Wiley, a civil rights lawyer and former prosecutor who served as legal counsel to Mayor de Blasio.<\/p>\n

City Comptroller and mayoral candidate Scott Stringer has the support of the Building Trades Council of Greater New York and Retail, Wholesale and Department Store Union.<\/p>\n

But a recent survey found Andrew Yang, who has not secured major union support, as the front-runner in the race.<\/p>\n

Yang was the top pick to lead the Big App<\/a>le for 32 percent of the 644 likely Democratic voters who responded to a WPIX-TV\/News<\/a>Nation\/Emerson College poll that was released Monday.<\/p>\n

Adams was the second top candidate, garnering 19 percent of the likely voters.<\/p>\n

Wiley notched 9 percent support and Stringer 6 percent the poll said.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
