Daniel’s interest in labor law developed at age 11 when his beloved New York Yankees were unable to play in the 1994 World Series, which was canceled because of a work stoppage. Intrigued by collective bargaining from that point forward, Daniel studied at Cornell University’s School of Industrial and Labor Relations from which he earned a bachelor’s of science degree, with honors.
