"I believe in unionism. My father was a union rep for the Providence firefighters, so I grew up around union issues. I just feel that the union has so much to offer, not just for job protection, but for so many other aspects of your life. The union can help with the financial considerations and insurance, and it also has very positive social benefits. Until people get involved, they don't know what they're missing!"
