To the Editor:

Unions are an essential part of life for many people. My father, Mike Rinnier, is one of them. For as long as I can remember my father has been a member of the IBEW union. Due to this, the union has had a variety of effects on my family.

To begin, being a part of a union has offered my father a sense of brotherhood with his fellow union members. This certainly manifested during my childhood through the gatherings we would attend, and host, at times.
