This year, for Black History Month, we're taking a look at a group of leaders who are currently active making Black history across the labor movement. Check back daily for a new profile and meet some of the people working to improve not only their community, but also to improve conditions for working people across the country. Today's profile is Julien Johnson of Office and Professional Employees (OPEIU).
A hardworking young man, Julien Johnson goes beyond the call of duty at the regional labor council and for students in the Building Futures–MC3 Program. Johnson has worked with groups like the Ohio Legislative Black Caucus, NAACP, A. Philip Randolph Institute, Coalition of Labor Union Women and Coalition of Black Trade Unionists, fighting for workers' rights and the rights of people of color throughout Ohio.
