MY RÉSUMÉ
9 - Processing, Manufacturing & Utilities
Union environment

I'm involved in union meetings. Once a month there are meetings outside the building to share information and discuss Boeing issues. Because I'm a Lead Hand and need to be on the floor for my full shift, I can't take the Steward role. You need to be able to take time off to go to Steward meetings.

We also have a sisterhood. We're fortunate enough to have workshops so our sisterhood goes to places like Hecla Island, where we discuss the rights we have as female employees.
