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 Sheria Smith of AFGE.
Sheria Smith is the president and chief negotiator of AFGE Local 252, which represents approximately 3,000 employees at the Department of Education. She serves on several AFGE committees, including the District 10 Advisory Committee, the Unity Committee and AFGE B.L.A.C.K. Smith is a recipient of AFGE's Woman of Labor award and a 2019 graduate of the Texas AFL-CIO Ruth Ellinger Labor Leaders class.
