Happy May Day!
A person can be calm, genuine, modest, and hard-working while still demanding dignity. That’s what Culinary Worker Heather proves. Heather simply demands dignity and with her brothers and sisters in UNITE HERE LOCAL 226 at her side. 
Heather works as a food runner and busser in a unionized casino restaurant on the Las Vegas Strip and has been a Culinary Union Union member and Shop Steward for 5 years. Having experienced low wages, harassment, and insecurity in non‑union restaurants, she knows first-hand how the union difference - strong contracts, guaranteed benefits, and job protections can change lives. Heather spends her time on and off the clock defending her co-workers’ rights and she is currently canvassing with her union to get out the vote in Nevada ahead of the Primary Election.
Discussion Questions:

Description

Cool People. Cool Jobs. At Project Labor, we’ve got both. 
Project Labor podcast celebrates the daily grind by diving deep into the lives and careers of people doing interesting work.
Each episode asks the essential questions: What do you actually do all day? How do you feel about your work? And how’d you get here?
In honest, in depth conversations, we talk to everyone from union tradespeople, artists, small business owners, and daring career changers.
Join us in building a living catalog of the modern American workplace. 
Whether you’re a student imagining your first step, a career changer looking for a fresh start, or just somebody curious about the reality faced by workers today, we’re going to shine a light on the daily life, passion, and dignity that make up labor today. Come for the stories; stay for the solidarity.
