Local 802 proudly endorses @TomDiNapoli for NYS Comptroller. Tom has stood alongside union members on the picket line, always ready to fight. He understands that working New Yorkers from the Broadway stage to the construction site are the backbone of a stronger, better NY.

Always great to see our elected leaders visit #Broadway! Loved that State Senator @ebottcher and @nysenate Majority Leader @andreascousins toured the newly-renovated Majestic Theatre.
Thank you to @NYSenate Majority Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins @AndreaSCousins for coming to Broadway and touring the magnificent and newly renovated Majestic Theatre with us today.
We had the honor of meeting @DMJulieSu and giving her a backstage tour during the opening night of the Met Opera. It was a terrific opportunity to showcase the incredible work & artistry of the @METOrchestra!
