Hello District 32 Community,
Working class consciousness is on the rise! While I am in Lansing fighting for our district, our brothers and sisters throughout the state are on picket lines demonstrating their determination for better working conditions and compensation. As a proud member of the UAW, I continue to stand side by side with my fellow workers.
“Solidarity forever, for the union makes us strong!”
