Brittany started on the factory floor several years ago and is now 1 of 3 certified forklift operators in the entire country who is also visually impaired. That is an incredible story.pic.twitter.com/XrjCMRfCHD

This is why we need to continue investing in workforce development. It's about giving ALL New Yorkers like Manny and Brittany a job with dignity and good benefits.pic.twitter.com/SPgMUF9Ffu
