Marty Morgenstern

Marty Morgenstern is the governor’s top adviser on labor policy – a big deal in an administration that owes a lot to labor – and one can see why. He was Gray Davis’ personnel director for Davis’ entire governorship, and he served Brown for eight years during the latter’s two terms as personnel director and head of employee relations. Morgenstern, who started out as a shop steward in Harlem, also had stints with AFSCME and CSEA. He’s got Brown’s ear on all things labor.
