She is one of the many workers of UPMC fighting to grow the middle class in Pittsburgh inside the state’s largest employer. Her choice is not without risk. Coworkers who are vocal in supporting the union face intimidation, harassment, and discrimination. Some union supporters have been fired. By giving us her story, Christoria helps us understand the choice.
As we approach MLK Day and remember that great man, we should look to our own movements, really hear our own stories, get angry, and choose to overcome.
