Rebecca King
Elisabeth Haub School of Law at Pace University, J.D. (Summa Cum Laude) 2018
State University of New York at New Paltz, B.A. Sociology with Criminology Concentration (Summa Cum Laude) 2014
As the daughter of a small family farmer and registered nurse, I learned at a young age the ways in which blue-collar workers often do not receive the recognition they deserve and the important role unions play in workers’ lives. As a child, I often worked alongside my father in the fields, cultivating crops. I remember listening to the local radio station as my mother and her fellow nurses spoke about their fight to unionize their hospital. It takes a certain amount of fortitude for employees to stand up to their employer. Throughout my professional and academic career, I have witnessed the ways in which financial inequality leads to inequality in other areas of life. As an attorney at Getman, Sweeney & Dunn, I have the privilege to stand with working people and fight to level the playing field.
