At a recent press conference to discuss school safety, Mayoral candidate, Andrew Cuomo, committed to hiring additional school safety officers as part of the Governor’s plan to restore public safety, the centerpiece of which is hiring and retaining 5,000 new police officers that will restore the ranks of the NYPD to the same headcount as the Dinkins/Giuliani eras. Flanked by members of Local 237’s Executive Board and members of Law Enforcement and Citywide Division, Local 237 President Gregory Floyd welcomed the commitment from Cuomo and reiterated the union’s support of him as Mayor.

We all know that working people can thank the Labor Movement for improving our quality of life by giving us things, such as: the weekend, the 40-hour workweek, and overtime pay. Teamsters Local 237 Union Members can also thank their union for being one of the first Union Legal Service Plans, providing Local 237 members with free legal services for many of the common personal legal issues that people face.

El otoño marca el final del verano y el comienzo de una nueva temporada. Para algunos de nosotros, el cambio viene con un poco de tristeza, debido en parte a contar con menos horas de luz natural y tener a mano nuestra ropa de abrigo en la puerta del closet. Mientras que para otros se recibe al otoño con alivio: no más arena de playa molesta con la que lidiar, ni restos de hamburguesa que raspar de la parrilla. Con Halloween, Día de Acción de Gracias y Navidad asonando en el horizonte, sus fabulosos colores, luces, tradiciones familiares y reuniones hacen de estas festividades algo que muchos esperan con ansias. Comenzarán a montarse las decoraciones, se prepararán las listas de regalos y se desempolvarán las recetas de cocina. Todas tradiciones emocionantes y divertidas.
