For Pride Month this year, the AFL-CIO is spotlighting various LGBTQ+ union members who have worked and continue to work at the intersection of civil and labor rights in the United States. Today's profile is Michael Flint of the Laborers (LIUNA).
Michael Flint is a shop steward with LIUNA Local 71 and a certified OSHA outreach trainer. He was recently elected to serve as the first president of the newly formed Pride at Work Alaska chapter. After his service in the U.S. Navy, Flint never stopped giving back to his community and currently volunteers with Choosing Our Roots and the Alaska CASA program for children who need advocates in the courtroom.
