UDW Statewide Vice President
Rosalina Flores

I am a home care worker for ADDUS healthcare. I am a mother of four children and live in Hemet, California. I began working for ADDUS in Hemet about seven years ago. I began as a home maker (ADDUS provider) for two years and then I became an ADDUS supervisor. I later took a leave of absence to study medical administration and then came back to work as a home maker because I love doing home care. I have been with ADDUS for four years since then.

I became involved with the union after my supervisor got fired for no good reason. I tried to speak out for her, but I felt that I had no voice. When I came in contact with the union at a meeting, the organizers made me feel that I belonged and that I had power behind me with my union. I became a union steward. Since then, I have been part of our negotiations with ADDUS through the bargaining committee. I have been elected as delegate for the UDW Constitutional Convention in which we passed the new constitution by which our union is now governed. I recently was elected by my co-workers in ADDUS of Riverside County to act as their Chapter Chair.

It is an honor to represent all the ADDUS workers in Riverside at the Chapter Board as well as the Executive Board. I want to learn as much as I can and develop my skills and advocate for my co-worker’s individual issues as well as stand out for our rights as a union.

In Solidarity,
Rosalina Flores
