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 Chan Chi Chiu of UWUA.
Chan Chi Chiu is deeply grateful to the Utility Workers (UWUA) for the stability and security it has provided for his family. He credits the job security, safe work environment and comprehensive benefits for allowing his family to thrive and paving the path to success and the realization of the American dream. Chan has always been an active and supportive UWUA member, always engaging in team building in his organization by providing snacks to help his brothers and sisters stay energized during the day.
