This , weโ€™re honoring some of the labor leaders who helped build the Texas labor movement.

A pioneer in Texas labor, Rosa Walker spent nearly four decades helping power the work of the Texas AFL-CIO. She recruited women into the movement, coordinated disaster relief and voter drives, and helped turn Texas labor into real power for working families.

This month and every month, we honor Rosa for her strength, leadership, and unwavering commitment to Texas workers.
