“It wasn’t easy. When I was out of work, I got behind on the rent. But, with the strength of my co-workers behind me, we were able to right this wrong,” said Tschebotarjew.
Tschebortarjew feels vindicated and grateful for the support he received from his fellow 1199SEIU members and co-workers. After he returned to work recently, he received a warm welcome from the staff and residents. Tschebortarjew says the outpouring of love has renewed his faith. “I am elated. I feel once again that justice does exist,” said Tschebortarjew.
Tschebotarjew shared his story at a recent delegate assembly meeting. He encouraged all members to stay united and committed in their fight for justice.
“I hope my story inspires my union brothers and sisters to fight for their rights too. When we unite and fight, we win.”
