For Pride Month this year, the AFL-CIO is spotlighting various LGBTQIA+ workers who have worked and continue to work at the intersection of civil and labor rights in the United States. Today's profile is Tia Burnett of OPEIU.
An OPEIU Local 12 bargaining team member at HealthPartners in Minnesota, Tia Burnett helped win a new union contract that resulted in a historic pay raise for more than 1,000 of their co-workers—the biggest raise in more than 40 years.
