For Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month this year, the AFL-CIO is spotlighting various Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders who have worked and continue to work at the intersection of civil and labor rights in the United States. Today's profile is Imran Ansari of the Electrical Workers (IBEW).
Imran Ansari is the political director of the Long Island Fedration of Labor, the fourth largest central labor council of the AFL-CIO. He supports the officers and affiliate leadership in political matters, directs and manages mobilization efforts, and works to advance legislative efforts at all levels of government.
