Nearly 190,000 home health workers in New York could unionize in one of the biggest U.S. labor drives in decades. SEIU Local 1199 says they've gotten almost 70,000 signatures, enough to trigger a union vote, and now the union has petitioned the National Labor Relations Board to hold an election.

Pretty insightful stuff here from Bret Stephens, who admits he's literally as out of touch as possible with every New Yorker alive right now. Zohran is the most popular politician in the country, Dem leadership is historically unpopular, and he's just... the opposite. And he works for the NY Times.
