Seth Goldstein, a lawyer for the ALU, told The Lever that the union has filed a complaint with James, a Democrat, urging her to review whether the company has violated federal labor law and thus voided its eligibility for taxpayer subsidies.
Luis Miranda has reportedly long been close with James. He served as a lead consultant when she successfully ran for New York City public advocate, according to CNBC. He also made phone calls on her behalf as she weighed whether to launch a bid for governor last year.
