 of New York

 WHEREAS, It is the custom of this Legislative Body to recognize
official months set aside to increase awareness of serious matters that
affect the lives of citizens of New York State; and

 WHEREAS, Attendant to such concern, and in full accord with its

observance of International Workers' Day; and

 WHEREAS, Increasing employment has remained a top priority for New
York State; and

Empire State, appreciates all workers, men and women, union and
non-union, farm workers, and workers in the private and public sectors,
who work every day to make New York more productive and fiscally
healthier and stronger; and

 WHEREAS, This Legislative Body also remembers the Haymarket rally in
Chicago in 1886, generally considered significant as the origin of May
Day, observing workers' rightful demands for an eight-hour workday; and

 WHEREAS, During this month, the strong union traditions in New York
State as well as the belief in hard work and work ethics for union and
non-union workers are proudly recognized and observed as are New York
workers' freedom to organize in unions and for collective bargaining;
and

 WHEREAS, May 1st is recognized and celebrated across the world as
May Day, a celebration of laborers and the working classes that is
promoted by the international labor movement; and

 RESOLVED, That this Legislative Body pause in its deliberations to
memorialize Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim May 2026, as Workers'
Awareness Month in the State of New York; and be it further
