SAG-AFTRA President Gabrielle Carteris was our first featured guest on today’s edition of the AWF Union Podcast.

Our second guest today was United Labor Agency Executive Director Dave Megenhardt. He spoke about how their services are still available online, other organizations like theirs around the country, their goals to fix economic situations and raise the next generation to be productive members of the community and the hospitality industry being negatively impacted during the pandemic.
