BY: M. of A. Durso

 MEMORIALIZING Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim
 March 15, 2026, as Essential Workers Day in the
 State of New York

 WHEREAS, It is the conviction of this Legislative Body that those
individuals who faithfully serve the needs of the community and its
citizens with steadfast dedication and compassionate commitment
profoundly strengthen our shared commitment to family and community
life; and

 WHEREAS, It is, furthermore, the practice of this Legislative Body
to recognize the efforts of essential workers who, in providing vital
care and support to people in the communities across New York State,
serve to enhance the quality of life for our residents; and

 WHEREAS, Attendant to such concern, and in full accord with its
long-standing traditions, this Legislative Body is justly proud to
memorialize Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim March 15, 2026, as
Essential Workers Day in the State of New York; and

 WHEREAS, Essential Workers Day is a day set aside to show
appreciation to all the essential workers whose efforts may have gone
unnoticed during the Covid-19 pandemic; and

 WHEREAS, Essential workers include: Sanitation workers, Police,
First Responders, Supermarket workers and other essential retail
personnel, Healthcare workers, Delivery Services, Private and Public
Sector Unions, Truck Drivers, Postal Workers, National Guard and
Reservists, Educators, Utility Workers, Elder Care Services, Transit
System, Manufacturing Industry, Human Services Providers, and Food
Banks; and

 WHEREAS, While others are safely under quarantine, these loyal and
dependable public servants continue to travel and provide essential
services to the residents of New York State; and

 WHEREAS, Understanding the risks involved, essential workers perform
their duties with tireless devotion and commitment; and

 WHEREAS, Employers as well as New Yorkers across the State should
celebrate Essential Workers Day by taking a moment to just say thank you
to the essential workers in their community; and

 WHEREAS, It is the sense of this Legislative Body that those who
enhance the quality of life in their community and have shown a long and
sustained commitment to the maintenance of high standards in their
profession, certainly have earned the recognition and applause of all
the citizens of this great Empire State; now, therefore, be it

 RESOLVED, That this Legislative Body pause in its deliberations to
memorialize Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim March 15, 2026, as
Essential Workers Day in the State of New York; and be it further

 RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution, suitably engrossed, be
transmitted to The Honorable Kathy Hochul, Governor of the State of New
York.
