Here is Emina's winning entry:
"This pandemic has changed the lives of many people, including myself in a way that we were not prepared for.
The one thing that has stayed consistent throughout this entire journey has been my workplace and my union — Local 1006A.
I wasn’t the only person who felt alone and scared. I was personally affected by COVID-19 when my family and I contracted the virus, including my mother who is high risk.
It was a very dark time for my family and I. The union has ensured me and my workplace were supported throughout this entire pandemic, whether it has been by sending resources to help with my mental health, or reminding us that we matter and all our hard work.
They have helped me by sending me countless resources that encourage me to stay strong and continuously advocate for our rights and safety which I will forever be grateful for."
There's still time to enter – submit your story today. Submission deadline is October 28, 2021.
