Congratulations to SSEU Local 371 President Anthony Wells on Making the City & State‘s “2021 New York City Labor Power 100” list!
“In 1983, Anthony Wells was hired as a caseworker for New York City’s child services administration, then known as the Bureau of Child Welfare. Nearly three decades later, in 2011, he was elected president of Social Service Employees Union Local 371, which represents 20,000 social service workers across city agencies. This year, the union joined a successful push for early retirement incentives for New York City municipal workers, which Wells touted to his members as a means to avoid layoffs.”
