On Thursday, March 19, 2015, attorneys from Pond Lehocky attended the annual Philadelphia Peggy Browning Awards ceremony to support the fund. Managing Partner Sam Pond was a member of the host committee for the event, which honored three prominent defenders of workers’ rights: John Kane, business manager and secretary/treasurer for Plumbers Union Local 690; Joan Parker, arbitrator, mediator and educator; and Wendell Young IV, president of UFCW Local 1776.
The Peggy Browning Fund is a nonprofit organization established in memory of Margaret A. Browning, prominent labor attorney and member of the National Labor Relations Board. The fund aims to motivate and educate the next generation of advocates for workers’ rights.
