2/ I heard from Delores about the hardships she faced early in life & how finding her union not only changed her life, but the life of her family. As she said: “I wanted to do something that was worth it, that was generational – something my kids could be proud of.”
3/ We talked about how working in sheet metal has given Delores a renewed sense of purpose. As she said, it’s truly a skilled trade. As someone who worked in construction to put myself through school, I understand that working & creating with your hands is a great feeling.
4/ Dahlia also shared her story of how being part of a union has allowed her to do things she once never thought possible – like buying a home. The middle class is strong when unions are strong.
5/ As Delores said: “Don’t give up.” Never underestimate the power of unions. Glad to sit down with Delores and Dahlia and talk about our work to support working people.
