For Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month this year, the AFL-CIO is spotlighting various Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders who have worked and continue to work at the intersection of civil and labor rights in the United States. Today's profile is Kim You Taing of UNITE HERE.
Kim You Taing said: "I came to the United States in May 1981 from Cambodia. I decided to become a shop steward to help my co-workers. I have helped to organize my co-workers and fought through many contract negotiations. I am proud to be a Culinary Union member."
