Matthew Carpenter

General Counsel

Service Employees International Union (SEIU) Local 73

Matt Carpenter is currently the General Counsel for SEIU Local 73. Prior to that, Matt practiced at a union-side labor law firm where he represented clients in both the private and public sectors.  Matt began his legal career as a general practitioner but soon thereafter took a position with a Michigan healthcare local. In that role, in addition to traditional staff attorney duties, he negotiated dozens of contracts before returning to Chicago. Although he’s a regular attendee at the Public Sector Labor Conference, this is his first time presenting at the Conference.
