UIUC United Students For Labor Rights

Happy May Day to all! (Some cool posters of Somali, Iranian and Palestinian May Day posters found on twitter.)

As we get closer to May Day, we wanted to recognize previous United Students Against Sweatshop members who helped build the foundation of United Students for Labor Rights!

Check out Rigoberto Campos!

Rigoberto Campos, born and raised on the southeast side of Chicago, once was a student and former member of USAS until 2015. He comes from immigrant parents straight out of Michoacán, Mexico. He comes from proud family background and history of blue collar workers that inspired much of the person he is today. He studied political science and history with a minor in Latina/o studies. Since he graduated, his efforts have been dedicated to advocating and organizing around healthcare, labor and immigrant rights and in supporting grassroots campaigns that fight on behalf of working people. He is currently a union organizer with Workers United in the city of Chicago, organizing workers in industries across the Midwest.

United Students for Labor Rights is thankful for Campos' labor and organizing in Urbana-Champaign! As students we are inspired by his continuous efforts as a union organizer. Thank you Rigoberto!
