The event, held at the Cornell ILR School’s NYC Conference Center at 500 Lexington Ave., will feature Natalie Monarrez, a worker-leader who, as a member of the Amazon Labor Union, made history with her co-workers on April 1 when they voted to unionize the Staten Island warehouse where they work, becoming the nation’s first unionized Amazon facility.
NYLHA is proud to co-sponsor this event alongside the Cornell ILR School and the National Writers Union.
