A prominent union leader has sharply criticized a recent decision to ban horse-drawn carriages in New York City, calling it an "anti-labor" move that threatens the livelihoods of workers. The criticism comes amid accusations that the union boss has failed to adequately support those affected by the policy change. Supporters of the ban argue it improves safety and animal welfare, while opponents claim it disregards the economic struggles of the city’s carriage drivers. The debate highlights tensions between public safety concerns and the protection of traditional, often low-wage jobs in urban areas.
