Bill > K00720

This resolution memorializes Governor Kathy Hochul to officially proclaim June 16-20, 2025, as Sanitation Workers Week in New York State, recognizing the critical and often overlooked contributions of sanitation workers, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic. The resolution highlights that sanitation workers are among high-risk essential workers who continued to provide vital services while many others were in quarantine, facing additional challenges such as potential vehicle-related dangers and handling unsanitary trash. By formally acknowledging these workers, the Legislative Body aims to encourage employers and New Yorkers to express gratitude and appreciation for sanitation workers' tireless dedication and commitment to maintaining community cleanliness and public health. The resolution specifically calls on people to take a moment to simply say "thank you" to sanitation workers in their local communities, and it will be transmitted to Governor Hochul with an official, engrossed copy of the resolution.
