“Amalgamated Bank was founded almost a century ago as a bank primarily for low and middle-income workers. Since that time we have proudly supported and advocated for the rights and interests of working people across the country. We were the first bank to institute a $15 minimum wage; we advocate for workers’ rights through shareholder activism; we offer paid family leave to our employees; and, we support public policy that furthers the interests of American workers. We are proud to support the FAMILY Act, which would enable workers to take needed leave to support their families through birth, injury, and illness, without a financial burden. All workers deserve the opportunity to balance the demands of their work while taking care of themselves and their families.”
Keith Mestrich, President and CEO
