She credits Tony Gibson as a key mentor in her journey, expressing deep appreciation for his guidance and unwavering commitment to advocating for workers’ rights.
“Tony has inspired me every step of the way,” said Hazamy. “He’s taught me the importance of standing up for what is right and the power of solidarity. I am incredibly grateful for everything he has shared and taught me.”
Looking ahead, Hazamy is eager to take on greater responsibility and work more closely with members to strengthen their collective voice.
