Gov. Kathy Hochul and Lt. Gov. Antonio Delgado both joined union workers on picket lines this week.

On Wednesday, Hochul joined United Auto Workers members in Rockland County at their protest outside a Stellantis-owned auto parts depot in Tappan. Stellantis owns the Chrysler and Dodge auto brands.

Auto workers have been striking for three weeks in targeted actions against the Big Three American car companies Stellantis, Ford and GM, seeking better wages and a return of many of the benefits they sacrificed during the 2008 recession.

In a statement shared Wednesday, Hochul said she remains committed to standing with the unions as they advocate for better contracts.

“Unions built New York, and we stand together in the fight for fair wages, better working conditions and safer workplaces,” she said. “I’m proud to stand in solidarity with the hard-working men and women of the UAW as they fight the good fight.”

On Thursday, Delgado went to Manhattan to join striking actors in the Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists union, known as SAG-AFTRA. In that strike, actors working with the major television, streaming and film studios have been striking for higher compensation, protection from artificial-intelligence generated content, and other working agreement disputes.

The move from Hochul and Delgado comes just a week after President Joseph R. Biden became the first American president in modern memory to join striking workers on a picket line in Michigan, where he reaffirmed his support for union members. Former President Donald J. Trump also met with auto workers last week, paying a visit to a non-union auto parts maker in Michigan.
