When we hosted our first labor lunch, we welcomed a handful of union representatives. Just 2 years later, with the tireless advocacy from Veronica Escobar for Congress, we can barely fit everyone into the photo. A testament to how hard our Congresswoman fights for workers' rights in DC, and how active our local labor unions are. #laborunions #sisepuede #strongertogether #natca International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW) #iaff #seiu #nationalnursesunited AFSCME
