"I believe organizing a union is the only way to have a voice at work. As workers we do the work and by standing with our coworkers we can collectively bargain for the pay, benefits and conditions we need to live a dignified life."
— Salvador Herrera, International Union of Painters and Allied Trades
"Being in the trades has uplifted my life. I have an actual learned skill with the ability to teach others that same skill; this is something no one can take away."
— Cristina Barillas-Mcentee, National Chapter Developer and Field Coordinator for LCLAA at USW
