 Elisa
Gonzales
Union Representative
Elisa
Gonzales has been a UFCW member for
almost fifteen years. For ten years
she worked at Fred Meyer as a cashier;
five at Hollywood West and five at
Division where she created and
instructed a Spanish class for all Fred
Meyer employees.
Elisa is
currently a Union Representative
servicing over 1300 members. Elisa also
helps all the representatives with their
Spanish speaking members. Elisa was
born and raised in Mexico until she was
fourteen, and moved to Portland, Oregon
with her parents in 1981.
Elisa saw
her parents go through struggles at
their workplace and noticed that they
had a union working on their side, but
there was a language barrier. Her
inspiration has always been to help
people especially those from other
countries who do not understand their
rights in their workplace.
Elisa’s husband is an
IBEW union electrician and they have an
eighteen year old girl, a sixteen year
old boy and the youngest is thirteen
year old boy. Both the boys are very
active in sports (baseball, basketball,
wrestling, and football).
