Good morning and welcome everyone to a very special episode of We the Scenario. I’m your host Tony Siona alongside the Incomparable Miss Maggie B. We have a very special show for you all today. In celebration of International Workers Day (May 1st), we have a panel of 3 guests joining us.

The first is Jorge Luis Cardona. Jorge is a member of the International Union of Operating Engineers Local 12. He is a Heavy Duty Repairman/Welder fabricator, Journeyman status. He also served in the US Marine Corps for 5 years as a maintenance technician on heavy aircraft support equipment.

Our next guest is Nancy Cruz, who was born and raised in San Diego, CA. Nancy became passionate about the fight for workers rights when she realized that work hinders one’s ability to be self-sufficient and address intersectional issues. She is an experienced labor organizer who has had the honor of working and fighting alongside janitors, fast food workers, postdocs and academic researchers.

Also we have Anabel Arauz a Community and Union Organizer with International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW) Local 465. Raised in South Dego aka San Diego by a single mom who showed her how to stand up for her values. Miss Arauz has been advocating for workers for over a decade.
