As well as participated in the Labor wave to #StopTheShutdown Rally, and the Women’s March on Washington. This was an educational and inspirational experience for all involved and went a long way as far as shedding some light on some of the key issues and challenges that women and other minorities in the workforce, face on a regular basis even today. And how we as union brothers and sisters can continue to promote a culture in which these challenges and unfair disadvantages can become a thing of the past.
Thank you for your support in helping us further our education so that we may better understand the problems, and be better equipped to fight for change for all union members.
Sincerely,
J.Slocum, K.Smith and Sandy Zeeb
