Founded in 1987, each year NYLHA honors two people for their contributions to workers’ empowerment.  This year’s honorees are Bhairavi Desai, co-founder of the New York Taxi Workers Alliance, and Tom Robbins, investigative journalist.

The Awards reception was held Tuesday November 28, 2017 at 32BJ SEIU,  25 West 18th Street, NYC.  A good time was had by all — check back later for a report on the event.

We are pleased to announce a new book review from Professor of English and teacher of Baseball and American Culture classes Mark Altschuler, on Are Players’ Unions Good for Professional Sports?, by Thomas Riggs.
