Pride Month Profiles: Anthony McKeever

For Pride Month, the AFL-CIO is spotlighting various LGBTQ+ Americans who have worked and continue to work at the intersection of civil and labor rights. Today’s Pride Month profile is Anthony McKeever of UNITE HERE.

Anthony McKeever has been a union shop steward for more than 15 years and has helped to negotiate every contract at his workplace during that time. He believes that when workers unite as a team, it makes them stronger and helps them win better pay and benefits. McKeever’s union pride enables him to open up and be himself without fear of harassment or bullying.
