Local 1422 – Los Angeles, CA

We Are Our Brothers’ Keepers 

When tragedy strikes one of us, it affects all of us.  

Jesus is more than a name on a roster: he is a father, a husband, a coworker, and a friend. He has stood shoulder to shoulder with us on the job, and now we must rally to stand with him and his family in return.  

“This unforeseen event has left our family in an extremely difficult and vulnerable position. We are seeking any help, no matter how big or small, to assist with medical bills, therapy, rent, and groceries,” Sara writes in the GoFundMe. 

Let’s ensure her plea does not go unanswered. 

Solidarity in Action 

The union was founded for members to aid one another in the face of failing or missing social systems. Solidarity is more than just something we say. It’s a commitment to pull together when no one else will. And right now, that means lifting up the Mesina family when they need us most. 

Let’s show Sara, Jesus, and their children the power of union solidarity.
