“When I first started working in fashion, I was shocked by how few rights and protections there are for interns and entry level workers. As my career has evolved, I’ve realized how important it is to have a strong support system around you in the workplace. Did you know that a lot of the employment rights we take for granted (like employer sponsored healthcare, minimum wage, overtime pay, unemployment benefits!) are all thanks to unions that fought for these rights on behalf of workers? Being a union member means you always have someone in your corner ready to advocate on your behalf.”
