This resolution memorializes Governor Kathy Hochul to officially proclaim March 15, 2025, as Essential Workers Day in New York State, recognizing the critical contributions of workers who provided vital services during the Covid-19 pandemic. The resolution acknowledges a wide range of essential workers, including sanitation workers, police, first responders, healthcare workers, delivery services, truck drivers, postal workers, educators, utility workers, and many others who continued to work and provide crucial services while others were under quarantine. The legislative body emphasizes the tireless devotion and commitment of these workers, who understood and accepted the risks involved in their jobs, and calls on employers and New Yorkers to take a moment to express gratitude to these essential workers. The resolution aims to honor these individuals who have significantly enhanced the quality of life in their communities, particularly during the challenging period of the pandemic, and seeks to have a copy of the resolution transmitted to Governor Hochul as an official recognition of their important contributions.
