Dolores Huerta


Listening to the guest speaker, Dolores Huerta, was very moving. It was inspiring to listening her and hear about her experience and what she was fighting for. I was surprised that I would agree and some of the things that she said. I found it interesting that she would work with those who were not educated and could not speak English and teach them about the rights and power that they have because they are in a union. This then brings me to the part where she talks about labor unions and how people always thing that they are bad even though labor unions were the ones that fought for the minimum wage, workers’ rights, health insurance for workers, and education. Labor unions are for the working class. I found it very important that she is informing people instead of just telling them what they should do. Lastly she made an important point that that people will not stop immigrating to the United States because people are not satisified with their government. So as a result we as a nation need to help rebuild other countries economy instead of having corporations come in and take over.
