Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander Heritage Month Profiles: Eva Kuo

For Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander Heritage Month, AFL-CIO is spotlighting various Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians and Pacific Islanders who have worked and continue to work at the intersection of civil and labor rights in the United States. Today’s profile is Eva Kuo of the Theatrical Stage Employees (IATSE).

As IATSE Local 828’s vice president, Eva Kuo takes care of health and wellness matters for the local and has served on its intersectional and young workers committees. She also works part time at Toronto Metropolitan University’s Performance School as a props mentor. “I feel so lucky to be able to do what I love and still make a decent living,” she said. “I surely wouldn’t be able to do that without IATSE.”
