Great.

How is OLR engaging municipal unions in conversations about diversity and inclusion and what role can labor play in creating a more inclusive workplace?

I would say generally you know we defer to our colleagues at DTAS on for their programs on diversity, equity and inclusion.

You know we don't necessarily affirmatively reach out to unions on those issues unless there's a program that DTAS is starting up with where communication with labor would be kind of beneficial.

But certainly if any union came to us wanting to work on those things, we are always open to it and we would, you know, work with our DTAS colleagues on it.
