“Why am I choosing to stick with my Local during this crisis?” Lisa Smith

I became more active in my Union just as our world began to change with the current COVID-19 health and economic crisis. The burden is heavy but lightened by our strength in unity. What I have been most encouraged by is the attention and respect that is given when our issues are approached from the Union perspective rather than individuals attempting to tackle the system on our own. In unity, our voices are loud and clear. I am with my Union because my Union is with me.
