In Her Own Words: Becky Sassaman
“I have been a Kaiser Permanente Union employee for 25 years, a UFCW member for 19 of those years. I am grateful to be a union member in a health care organization where I can have a personally rewarding career and as a single mother provide good health care and benefits for my two children while earning an industry leading wage. I became a union steward in the summer of 2000, I have been very active in working with my union to advocate these great working conditions for others.
