people-friendly city -- safe, honest and bursting with craft and entrepreneurial spirit.
She was involved and active from the very first day we started to organize there. The union was a vehicle for her to stand up and demand respect for herself and her fellow employees, and I think that's why she has always been so passionate about it.
