When I was 18 I got my first job in the restaurant industry. I worked to pay my college tuition, because I didn't have documents. Then after graduating college, I stayed in the industry, because I loved it, but mostly because I loved the people. Being a restaurant worker taught me some of the most valuable lessons of my life: justice, service, dedication and commitment. And it taught me that despite pressure from all sides, when workers organize they win! Help ROC continue the amazing work of organizing restaurant workers all over the country. Help ROC continue to be the soul and beacon of hope for restaurant workers!
