We need to begin our advocacy with our elected officials well before the General Assembly convenes on January 8, 2025.

成为工会成员对你有什么帮助? Unbeknownst to me, joining my union has opened a multitude of doors that I never knew existed. I quickly became a Building Rep in my local, but still had no idea why I joined.
