David Suetholz

Dave is currently the General Counsel of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters after practicing Union-side labor law for over twenty years in his home state of Kentucky.  He studied History and Theology at Villanova University, the latter compelling him to go to Notre Dame Law School to study and combat unjust social structures.  While at Notre Dame he met and befriended Fr. Gustavo Gutierrez who secured a spot for him to study Spanish at the Maryknoll’s Instituto de Idiomas in Cochabamba, Bolivia after he graduated. 

His practice has always drawn from his Irish grandmother’s admonitions to always side with the downtrodden, his four years of pondering the life well-lived as an undergraduate and now his mission to empower working people to recognize their inherent value and their power to build a more just and peaceful world through solidarity and brother/sisterhood.
