Labor Spotlight- Women of YWC

A new generation of labor women are moving their way up the ranks, making waves, and are the bright future of the labor movement. While there are many young women making an impact, we are highlighting just a few Young Worker Members. 

Tracey is a union CNA who went back to school to become a RN and landed a position in her union hospital. As co-chair for YWC and on the MALC Executive Board, she brings bold new ideas and a fresh perspective to organizing and the labor movement. 

Layli is one of the founding YWC members and very active in her union. She brings a bold perspective and puts organizing at the forefront of what she does.
