First timer attends Rally at Chancellor's office - Interview with Adrienne Durso
If you ever have the opportunity to take a vacation day to attend one of our union rallies, I highly recommend it!

There is strength in numbers, and our voices were loud and strong. We are quite sure those who attended the meeting inside the Chancellor's Office won't soon forget that we all made this incredible effort to make our voices heard. All of those who attend these rallies do it for all of us. We had a wonderful day and you were well-represented in Long Beach. Thank you, Pete, for getting us all there and back. It was a wonderful opportunity.
