Throughout Hispanic Heritage Month, the AFL-CIO will be profiling leaders and activists to spotlight the diverse contributions Hispanics and Latinos have made to the labor movement. Today's profile features Angelica Roacho of the United Steelworkers (USW).
Angelica Roacho serves as financial secretary of USW Local 7600 and has worked for 15 years as a pharmacy tech, offering patients a warm smile and a listening ear. Proud to be both a Latina and a union leader, she carries her father’s immigrant journey from Mexico forward through her involvement with the Labor Council for Latin American Advancement, advocating for her co-workers and inspiring her son with the power of solidarity.
