For Pride Month, the AFL-CIO is spotlighting various LGBTQ+ Americans who have worked and continue to work at the intersection of civil and labor rights. Today's Pride Month profile is Mika Romano of the United Food and Commercial Workers (UFCW).

Mika Romano was a strong voice at the bargaining table for UFCW Local 1776’s newly-organized Mariposa food co-op. Since then, they became a shop steward at the co-op and will continue to ensure all workers' voices are heard.
