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 Rebecca Owens of AFA-CWA.
Rebecca Owens is a proud flight attendant and active member of AFA-CWA Council 30. She has stepped up as her union is in contract negotiations by helping to organize informational pickets, volunteering to go on camera to share the stories of her union brothers, sisters and siblings, making sure her colleagues participated in their recent strike vote and working with the Alaska State AFL-CIO to get paid sick leave on Alaska's ballot to benefit her co-workers.
