Women’s History Month Profiles: Amanda Brubaker

For Women’s History Month, we’re taking a look at a group of leaders who are currently active making women’s history across the labor movement. Check back daily for a new profile and meet some of the people working to improve not only their community, but also to improve conditions for working people across the country. Today’s profile is Amanda Brubaker of the Utility Workers (UWUA).

“I’m proud of what I do every day,” said utility worker Amanda Brubaker. “What gives me joy is when I have a customer get excited to see me get out of my truck just because I’m a woman. The biggest challenge I face is people believing I don’t have the knowledge to do the job. Once we start talking it’s apparent I do have the knowledge and the ability and there’s no question anymore.”
