Latina Leaders Recognized for Union Contributions

As the crisis of imperialism intensifies, solidarity among marginalized communities, particularly Black, Latino, and Arab groups, is essential for collective liberation. A community forum in Chicago aims to facilitate open dialogues on shared histories and strategies to combat racism, capitalism, and imperialism. Meanwhile, the Hispanic Coalition of Small Businesses will honor 10 Latinas for their achievements in small businesses and academia at an awards event in Riverside, California, highlighting their contributions during Hispanic Heritage Month. In the corporate sector, the Hispanic Forum at Unison has successfully engaged diverse employees in professional development and cultural initiatives, reflecting a growing commitment to inclusivity. Additionally, Black and Latina women are increasingly gaining leadership roles in U.S. labor unions, translating into significant advancements in bargaining for family-friendly benefits and protections against workplace inequities. This rise is vital as women represent a substantial portion of union membership, driving efforts to address the intersectional challenges of racism and sexism in the workforce.
