NYU Wagner Labor Initiative Launches, Driving Progress for Workers' Rights
NYU Wagner welcomed the launch of the NYU Wagner Labor Initiative, led by Terri Gerstein, a pivotal program aimed at studying, supporting, and catalyzing government action to advance and protect workers' rights. This initiative's launch event was highlighted by a panel discussion featuring three nationally acclaimed elected officials—Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg Jr., Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison, and New York City Comptroller Brad Lander—sharing their work in upholding and furthering labor rights in their elected offices and underscoring the vital role of state and local governments in labor advocacy.
