"I'm pleased to announce that after an expedited process to ensure compliance with city regulations, I can today voluntarily recognize the Organized Advocates Staff Union within the Office of the Public Advocate, with dozens of members of our staff now represented by the Campaign Workers Guild.
"From the beginning of this process, I've been proud to support the unionization effort, and look forward to the next steps in ensuring fair representation. Our office has been committed to advancing the cause of worker justice throughout the city since I was first elected to this position two years ago, and it is crucial to reflect those values within our own workplace as well."
