Hispanic Heritage Month Profiles: Roy Zuniga

Throughout Hispanic Heritage Month, the AFL-CIO will be profiling leaders and activists to spotlight the diverse contributions Hispanics and Latinos have made to the labor movement. Today’s profile features Roy Zuniga of the National Association of Letter Carriers (NALC).

In addition to delivering mail to the customers on his route, Roy Zuniga goes the extra mile to serve his fellow letter carriers as a shop steward, on-the-job instructor and NALC activist. Reflecting on why being involved in his union is important to him, Zuniga shared the following: “What I enjoy most is passing on to the new members what was passed on to me and more. When you see new brothers and sisters at a meeting or they call you because they have a question, it makes it all worth it.”
