Daryl Newman

This year, for Black History Month, we're taking a look at a group of leaders who are currently active making Black history across the labor movement. Check back daily for a new profile and meet some of the people working to improve not only their community, but also to improve conditions for working people across the country. Today's profile is Daryl Newman of the American Federation of Teachers (AFT).

Daryl Newman serves as the president of the Metro Detroit AFL-CIO and secretary-treasurer of the Michigan AFL-CIO. Newman is also a member of AFT Michigan, and is a loud and proud voice from the Motor City!
