✨Celebrating Asian American Pacific Islander Heritage Month “The Union allows me to speak up not only for myself, but for others who are not able to. It creates a safe place that I know I can share any kind of concern, especially as an Asian American Women who has faced obstacles such as discrimination, language barriers, and cultural differences. This year, I am proud to come together in solidarity with over 60,000 Kaiser workers nationwide in the Alliance of Healthcare Unions to win wages that support our families and safe staffing to ensure patient care. As workers, our shared struggles and unique backgrounds are what bring us strength." –Maida Malasig, Ward Clerk at Kaiser in Moanalua, UNITE HERE Local 5 (fb)

✨Celebrating Asian American Pacific Islander Heritage Month "Unions help address inequalities at work by giving workers a voice and fair representation. It's important to recognize AAPI Heritage Month so we can appreciate each other's cultures and backgrounds and see the diversity that the union has. I've been a Culinary Union member for 26 years. I've raised my two children who are 19-years-old and 15-years-old now, and the union has allowed me to have stability and security, which has been important to me as I provide for my family." -Janine Grenada, a Cocktail Server at Mandalay Bay and Culinary Union member for 26 years (fb)
