Activists call Yuh-Line Niou ‘fake progressive,’ demand she drop Congress bid

Chinatown restaurant and home-aid workers gathered outside Assemblywoman Yuh-Line Niou’s office Wednesday, chanting “Yuh-Line Niou, Shame On You!” and calling on the woke Democrat to drop her bid in the crowded 10th Congressional District race.

The immigrant workers say Niou (D-Lower Manhattan), who has billed herself as a champion of the working class, is a “fake progressive” who sides with exploitative “sweatshop bosses” over community members.

“I am standing out against Yuh-Line for selling out workers, for having the gall to then run for Congress,” Vincent Cao, a former employee at the now-shuttered eatery Joy Luck Palace, said at the rally.

“Wage theft is rampant today because people like Yuh-Line Niou look the other way.”

Cao and his colleagues were awarded $1 million in back pay from a lawsuit they won in 2019 against Joy Luck Palace after the Chinatown restaurant shuttered. The workers say they still haven’t been paid by their bosses. And they think that Niou’s close relationship with Patrick Mock, their old boss, and the three other co-owners, disqualifies her from the race.

Love watching 'em eat their own.

This looks to be a Proggier-Than-Thou fight, attacking Niou for acquaintance with a shady restaurateur. She may also have been strayed from the blame-whites Prog party line on anti-Asian violence, due to reality.
