Argüello-Kline informed union members of her retirement in a letter dated last week. She said she considered it a high honor to represent the workers and thanked them for their trust in her leadership.
Thinking back over my 32 years, there is truly nothing we didn’t try or do in the fight to protect workers, organize, expand benefits, demand our fair share as companies made record profits, elect political leaders who will represent workers, hold elected leaders accountable for their actions or inactions, and champion issues that are important to working families,” she wrote.
