For Pride Month this year, the AFL-CIO is spotlighting various LGBTQ+ workers who have worked and continue to work at the intersection of civil and labor rights in the United States. Today's profile is Stephanie Baiungo of the National Association of Letter Carriers (NALC).
Since becoming a letter carrier in 1996, being involved in her union has been a top priority for Stephanie Baiungo. In addition to serving as a shop steward, arbitration advocate, training facilitator and more, Baiungo has been a full-time advocate since February 2023. “It is very important to me to be involved in the NALC to enforce and protect our rights afforded through the collective bargaining agreement,” Baiungo said. She is proud of the rewarding work she engages in while supporting, representing and advocating for her NALC siblings.
