Schneps Media honors champions of labor movement
BY QNS STAFF
The workers’ rights movement
in New York has made
great strides in the last several
years — the state has one
of the highest rates of unionization
in the country — and
these triumphs provided the
backdrop for the first-ever
Leaders of Labor Awards on
Sept. 4 at Terrace on the Park
in Queens.
Presented by Schneps Media
and sponsored by New
York State Nurses Association,
UAW Region 9A, NYS
Laborers, District Council
9, CSEA, Healthplex, Neurological
Surgery P.C., and Cary
Kane LLP, the dinner and
awards event featured labor
leaders, delegates, partners,
allies and supporters of the
union movement.
New York City Public Advocate
Jumaane Williams
delivered a powerful keynote
address, rallying the audience
with “Union Town” chants.
Guests also heard from Brooklyn
Borough President Eric L.
Adams, Bronx Borough President
Ruben Diaz, Jr. and
The honorees at the first Leaders of Labor Awards with Schneps Media President Victoria Schneps and CEO Josh Schneps on Sept. 4.
Queens Borough President
and Queens District Attorney
candidate Melinda Katz. New
York Senator Diane Savino
kept the evening flowing as
the night’s emcee, building
upon years of established relationships
from her past experience
as a labor leader.
In addition to celebrating,
Schneps Media raised money
to benefit the FealGood Foundation,
which supports workers
suffering from 9/11-related
cancer and illnesses.
