Union Workers Remember 911 and Build Back | New York City News

Thousands of union members flooded Lower Manhattan in a solemn march to honor the 2,977 souls lost on 9/11 — including 24 from Local 32BJ — as New York prepares for the 25th anniversary. Beyond remembrance, the rally spotlighted the unsung heroes: union workers like cleaners, window washers, and security guards who risked everything that day and continued rebuilding the city. From nurses working double shifts to electricians restoring power and warehouse workers rallying against odds, these essential workers kept NYC running through crisis. With Governor Hochul and Mayor Mamdani in attendance, the event celebrated resilience — embodied by groups like Laborers’ Local 79 — reminding us that the city’s strength is built on the shoulders of its hardworking, courageous labor force.
