“The [PBF Fellowship] experience has changed my has changed my perspective on labor lawyering. It has shown me that labor attorneys are vital to the organizing movement and that without people passionate about labor law, it would be difficult for the movement to flourish.” Angela Altieri, 2022 PBF Fellow at United Steelworkers, American University Washington College of Law, JD ‘23 “Before law school, I would never imagine that the law is not the best manner to get workers the dignity and respect they deserved. Rather, I now realize it’s education and outreach that is probably the most effective way to ensure that people feel empowered to stand up for their dignity. Organizing is probably the most important element to ensuring that the future is brighter for workers because the US legal system as it stands today will continue to sanction the exploitation of workers.” Andrey Chun Sarmiento, 2022 PBF Fellow at Justice at Work, Widener University Commonwealth Law School, JD ‘24 “I loved that I was able to bring my organizing experience to bear - when it came time to figure out how we were going to pressure employers into concessions at the bargaining table, I could help workers create action plans while answering their legal questions. That has been my dream since deciding to come to law school. I cannot wait to rejoin the labor movement after graduation.” Paul Sindberg, 2022 PBF Fellow at Chicago News Guild, University of Pennsylvania Carey Law School, JD ‘23 IMPACT STORIES “I AM MORE COMMITTED THAN EVER TO A CAREER IN THE LABOR MOVEMENT.” 22
