For Pride Month this year, the AFL-CIO is spotlighting various LGBTQ+ union members who have worked and continue to work at the intersection of civil and labor rights in the United States. Today's profile is Nate Richmond of the Theatrical Stage Employees (IATSE).
Nate Richmond, IATSE's Canadian office operations manager and chair of the Pride Committee, represents the IATSE on the Canadian Labour Congress’ Solidarity and Pride Working Group. "When it comes to supporting your LGBTQ+ kin, you don’t have to be an expert. You just need an open mind, an open heart, and the willingness to learn," Richmond said.
