BY: M. of A. Durso

        MEMORIALIZING Governor Andrew M. Cuomo to proclaim
        June  17,  2021,  as  Sanitation  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
services 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 Andrew M. Cuomo  to  proclaim  June  17,  2021,  as
Sanitation Workers Day in the State of New York; and

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

  WHEREAS,  Sanitation  workers are among the high-risk occupations in
New York  State  which  include:  Police,  First  Responders,  Municipal
workers,  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 were safely under quarantine, these loyal and
dependable public  servants  continue  to  work  and  provide  essential
services to the residents of New York State; and

  WHEREAS,   Understanding  the  risks  involved,  Sanitation  Workers
perform their duties with tireless devotion and  commitment;  they  have
been vital during the COVID-19 pandemic, with additional dangers such as
vehicles  not  following  road  safety rules, as well as the disposal of
dangerous unsanitary trash which is more necessary than ever; and

  WHEREAS, Employers as well as New Yorkers across  the  State  should
celebrate  Sanitation  Workers  Day by taking a moment to just say thank
you to the sanitation 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 Andrew M. Cuomo  to  proclaim  June  17,  2021,  as
Sanitation 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 Andrew M. Cuomo, Governor of the  State  of
New York.
