Hometown Heroes are food workers, hotel workers, auto workers, athletes and actors — your union family, neighbors + coworkers.
They're Hometown Heroes because they've been courageous, kind, daring + generous. They go above and beyond in ways that make us proud to know them and proud to be union.
You know a hero. Tell their story — even if it's your own. Especially if it's your own.
Contest ends June 17, 2026. See Official Rules. **LINK TO 2026 RULES./UPAContestRules was 2025 link
