Uddin received the “Distinguished Labor Leader Award” from Perry, who represents the 58th District in Brooklyn.

“He represents the values of the hard- working people who make this great city run,” said Perry, as he presented a plaque to Uddin.

“I thank him for his leadership and selfless community service.”

“It’s an honor for me to be among so many distinguished New Yorkers this evening,” said Uddin, who received his award with 11 educators, entrepreneurs and community activists. He is also the president of Accountants, Statisticians and Actuaries Local 1407 and of the national Alliance of South Asian American Labor and a board member of the Asian Pacific American Labor Alliance.
