Susan Horwitz to Receive Prestigious Labor Attorney Award at the Labor Guild’s Cushing-Gavin Awards Dinner on December 2, 2016
Susan Horwitz, a senior partner at Sandulli Grace, P.C., has been awarded the 2016 Cushing-Gavin Award for Union Attorneys, the highest honor bestowed upon members of the Massachusetts labor-management community. She will receive the award at the Labor Guild’s 50th Anniversary of the Cushing-Gavin Awards Dinner on December 2, 2016 at the Boston Park Plaza.
For 70 years, the Labor Guild has advanced the interests of workers and advocated better problem solving communication between representatives of labor and management throughout New England. In 1952, the Guild started offering classes to workers through its School of Industrial Relations, now located at 66 Brooks Drive in Braintree. In the late 1960’s, the Guild expanded its membership base by launching a tripartite labor relations awards program to recognize distinguished representatives of the labor, management and neutral/auxiliary communities. These awards are for excellence in labor-management relations “exemplifying moral integrity, professional competence and community concern.” For the past 50 years, select individuals who meet these high standards have been honored at the Guild’s Cushing-Gavin Awards Dinner.
Those familiar with Susan and her career can easily attest to how she exemplifies the required traits of a Cushing-Gavin Awardee. Before going to law school, she developed a foundation in labor relations by spending 5 years with the U.S. Labor Department in New York City. She then attended Northeastern School of Law when she began her work with Sandulli Grace as a coop, becoming its 4th attorney in 1984 and a partner in 1988. Sandulli Grace now has 13 attorneys and has always specialized in representing unions and employees exclusively.
Susan has been an exceptional advocate for the Boston Police Patrolmen’s Association (BPPA), the Massachusetts Coalition of Police (MCOP), the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW) Local 1228 in the broadcasting industry and numerous other local unions and their members across Massachusetts. She is held in high regard by all of the Sandulli Grace clients not just for her tireless work on their behalf, but also for her utmost passion in doing so.
The Cushing-Gavin Awards Dinner has grown to be the largest annual event in the Boston labor-management community. Please consider joining us in supporting the Labor Guild and honoring Susan Horwitz and the other Cushing-Gavin Awardees on December 2, 2016 at the Boston Park Plaza. It is also a chance to meet many old friends and establish new ones as we all strive to improve our working lives. (Further information regarding the Dinner and tickets can be found HERE)
