Dania Rajendra is the winner of the 2009 Max Steinbock Award, the highest honor given by the International Labor Communications Association (ILCA) Rajendra, an assistant editor for the Clarion, published by the Professional Staff Congress at City University of New York (CUNY)/AFT Local 2334, won for her story “At CUNY, Adjunct Health Care is Broken.”
