Thank you for your work,Júnia and Mario! The union makes us strong! 💪

We want to give a special shoutout to our Summer Member Organizers, Júnia and Mario, who have been out canvassing and connecting directly with FREA members this summer!

These conversations are how we build a strong, member-driven union. We’ve been listening, gathering feedback, and learning what matters most to our members as we prepare for our upcoming bargaining campaign.

A huge thank you to every FREA member who opened their door, shared their experiences, and made their voice heard. We heard you, and your voices will help shape our priorities.

A strong contract starts with an engaged membership, and a strong union is built by all of us. 💙✊
