years of professional experience

I want to be a part of Local 189 because I believe in the values that unions stand for. I'm a strong supporter of organized labor and the role unions play in protecting workers, advocating for fair wages, safe working conditions, quality benefits, and respect on the job.

To me, being a union member means being part of something bigger than myself. It's about standing together, supporting one another, and ensuring that workers have a voice in their workplace. I respect the work Local 189 does for its members and would be proud to contribute to that tradition.

I'm committed to working hard, continuing to learn, and representing the union with professionalism and integrity. I would be honored to become a member of Local 189 and help uphold the values that make the union strong.
