William Greenlaw JD’22 Harvard Law School Cambridge, MA United Steelworkers (USW) Pittsburgh, PA William grew up in the Midwest, is proud of his union family and that his parents were able to provide opportunities for him that they did not have. Neither parent completed a college education. His mother’s wages were stolen and his father and stepmother fight tirelessly against unsafe working conditions. William has since prioritized the fight for working people. As a data analyst at the New York Attorney General’s Office, he supported the fight against wage theft and anticompetitive corporate mergers. While co-founder and co-president of his school’s Plaintiffs’ Law Association, William encouraged students to pursue careers fighting for workers. An editor on the Harvard Law Review , William has a strong interest in labor scholarship. From his experiences - family, work, and school - the challenge is clear: it is past time that workers got a fair deal.
