Work Experience

I am currently the building union representative. I fulfill the crucial role of facilitating communication between my employer and union members. This involves attending meeting, collecting and disseminating pertinent information to all members, and providing support and guidance to navigate workplace challenges. Additionally, I proactively monitor the work environment, addressing and managing concerns raised by fellow members. In instances where I am unable to address specific questions or concerns, I escalate them to the Union President or Vice President for further guidance and resolution.
