This year, for Women's History Month, we're taking a look at a group of leaders who are currently active making women's 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 Roslyn Austin-Stewart of AFGE.

In her union roles, she has developed programs to educate her membership on how to properly file grievances and identify and document disparate treatment, harassment and discrimination. Austin-Stewart is also active with the California Labor Federation and the Los Angeles County Federation of Labor. In 2020, she became the first-ever recipient of the AFGE Veteran of the Year award for her military, civilian and volunteer service.
