Welcome to NY Jobs with Justice!

We would like to thank all of our friends and allies for your generous contributions to a successful 2009 New York Jobs with Justice Awards Night! NY Jobs with Justice is committed to advancing the cause of workers and the communities in which they live, and your support makes this possible.

Every year we have the opportunity to honor those who have fought along side us to build a better world.  This year we honored Commissioner M. Patricia Smith for her outstanding career of service to the people of New York as Commissioner of Labor and as former Labor Bureau Chief in the Attorney General’s office.  We also recognized several people who have fought along side Commissioner Smith to win rights and respect in the workplace, including:

• Joycelyn Gill-Campbell, Domestic Workers United
  
• Christina Echeverry, Retail, Wholesale and Department Store Union
  
• Angel Hernandez, Make the Road New York
  
• Miguel Seguera and Andres Puerta, NYC District Council of Carpenters

We are so inspired by their example and deeply appreciate their brave efforts as well as the support of our guests and sponsors who made this evening of celebration possible. Check out some photos from the event and take a look at our eJournal, which contains more information about the event and all of our generous supporters. Thanks again and hope you can join us next year!
