Who's a Hometown Hero?

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.
