Celebrating Disability Employment Awareness Month with #SagAftraMembers at the 2025 New York Disability Pride Parade.💪🤍#DisabilityPride

Thank you to #SchnepsMedia for honoring me with a 2025 #LeadersOfLabor award for my work on behalf of #SagAftraMembers. I am proud to once again share this recognition with my fellow dedicated labor advocates across New York State.

Cheers to a wonderful Saturday with @baftagames.bsky.social and North America Chair Joyce Pierpoline and Exec Dir Courtney LaBarge at this year’s #BaftaTeaParty celebrating the work of so many #SAGAFTRAMembers

Looking forward to being a part of the next edition of the @nywift.bsky.social Creative Workforce STEM Summit! The all-day conference with creatives, funders, policy makers, and thought leaders will focus on Creative Sustainability in the Age of AI.

Amazing day with #SagAftra Members at the 2025 NYC CLC Labor Day Parade catching up with #UnionStrong @newyorkstateag.bsky.social Tish James, WGAE Executive Director @SamWheeler.bsky.social, @aft.org Pres. @RWeingarten.bsky.social and so many union friends!

Great evening with my fellow labor leaders! Thank you again for the honor, @cityandstateny.bsky.social #UnionStrong

On a red and blue background with stars. In white font: SAG-AFTRA. Happy Labor Day!

This #LaborDay weekend, take time to recharge and rest while knowing you're part of an important and crucial fight! Enjoy the holiday. Created by unions, powered by workers. #UnionStrong

Thank you to #CityandStateNY for recognizing me as one of the top union leaders and worker advocates in their 2025 Labor Power 100. Congratulations to my fellow union honorees for keeping New York #UnionStrong!

We talked about how SAG-AFTRA’s 118-day strike was about protecting humanity. @rebeccadamon.bsky.social shared that her union was focused on consent, compensation, and control. Those are the same guardrails we need for every worker facing AI. #AFTCB2025

At our “Workers in the Age of AI” session, part of both the @aft.org Collective Bargaining Conference and AFT AI Symposium, I joined @sagaftra.org's @rebeccadamon.bsky.social to talk about how labor must shape AI, not be shaped by it. #AFTCB2025

Thank you @AFT.org and President @rweingarten.bsky.social‬ for inviting me to discuss “Workers in the Age of AI: Bargaining and Legislative Strategies” and labor's role in the rapidly evolving technological landscape at the AFT AI Symposium and #AFTCB2025 in Washington, D.C. #UnionStrong

Unions Rally for 19th Annual Equal Pay Day

The event is held annually to call attention to the continued pay disparities in our city and across the country, and to call for the administration to amend and close loopholes in current laws that allow businesses to pay women less than their male counterparts.
