NEW YORK, Oct. 22, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- EmblemHealth, a not-for-profit health plan dedicated to its community mission, and LaborPress, New York’s top source for daily labor news and industry information, are proud to present the annual Heroes of Labor Awards. With a legacy of over 85 years serving New York communities, EmblemHealth demonstrates a steadfast commitment to supporting labor union members, working individuals, and government and municipal employees.
“The challenges and uncertainty working families face daily are growing, and these times call for strong leadership,” stated Christine O’Connor, Assistant-Vice President for New York City Strategic Relations. “We are fortunate to have exemplary leaders who are meeting this moment, and we celebrate their accomplishments.”
This year’s honorees are:
- Joseph Colangelo, SEIU Local 246 President
- Dilcy Benn, District Council 37 Local 1505

“Labor makes up the solid foundation of the metropolis we call home,” said Neal Tepel, Labor Press Publisher. “As our great city faces turbulent headwinds from the Federal Government, our award winners stand firm today and every day, because without them, there is no New York.”
Heroes of Labor began in 2012 in response to the exemplary work done by union leaders and members in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy. These awards have been a tribute to the everyday champions of New York City. This event marks the dedication of working men and women across the city who strive to keep our city strong.
