District 13, Local 48M
I’m an inspector at a glass factory. We make pickle jars, canning jars, etc.
It’s my first-ever convention. I’m just looking forward to the experience and networking with fellow members. I’ve heard great things about Convention from members who came before.
I do try to be all in at our local and help people when I can. To me, it means to be fully committed to the union.
It’s a generational thing. My family all retired from the glass factory. Being young and being around the union as a kid, going to all the events, and now, taking it on myself—that’s pretty cool.
Are you and your coworkers ready to negotiate together for bigger paychecks, stronger benefits and better lives?
