I've been a UAW librarian for almost seven years now and wouldn't have it any other way. When I came to my library, I needed to get involved. I had a passion for knowing the innerworkings of the organization.
After all, I had just left a place where people were angry and threatened to organize, but never did. They continued on as sheep. Unhappy, but afraid nevertheless. So when I came aboard The Titanic (as I have so lovingly nicknamed my job), I landed at the desk of our local's president. He was my direct supervisor. Imagine my luck.
He found a place for me within the executive board and I was off and running. I've served in several capacities since and my favorite was serving as a steward for the union. Tonight, I will be running again to serve as a steward again for a different unit of our local. Every position is up for grabs and it is going to be historic.
I am excited. The adrenaline is amazing. I cannot wait until the meeting. This is going to be a game-changer. Indeed.
Solidarity Forever!
