...Marshall Ganz, a Kennedy School Professor and former colleague of Contreras, describes him as “smart, driven to make a difference, resilient, and gifted with a sense of humor that helped make it possible for him to broker relationships that surprised everyone.” Ganz’ comment could describe union bosses in general.
