In a significant step toward strengthening the voice of unionized print professionals across the state, President Lopresti met with New York State Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli as leaders from the New York City, New York State, and Albany Allied Printing Trades convened to discuss the future of the printing trades and the possibility of unifying under one banner.
The meeting, held at the Educational Cultural Center of Local 3, focused on strategies for increased cooperation, long-term sustainability, and enhancing representation for members across all regions. A potential merger of the three groups was a central topic, with leaders recognizing the value of solidarity and a unified front in navigating today’s evolving labor and industry landscape.
Further updates and outcomes from the ongoing discussions are expected in the coming weeks.
