“Coming from Dominican immigrant family, my work as a Social Service Navigator at IRC helps me to support and advocate for our unaccompanied children, who come from many parts of Latin America, whose voices aren’t heard at times."

Kickstarter workers, organized with @opeiulocal153.bsky.social, are on strike to maintain a four-day workweek and win living wages for all. #UnionStrong

Valles also serves on the board of the Labor Council for Latin American Advancement (LCLAA) and is an OPEIU vice president. We are proud to highlight her contributions to OPEIU and the labor movement this #HispanicHeritageMonth.

We look forward to continuing to build union power across industries in pursuit of economic, racial and social justice at work and in our communities. May you and your loved ones have a wonderful Labor Day.

In solidarity,
Team OPEIU

Workers at nonprofits, colleges, universities, hospitals, record labels, tech companies, credit unions, public utilities and other industries are coming together in union with OPEIU despite the odds.
