Hispanic Heritage Month Profiles: Luis Jurado

Throughout Hispanic Heritage Month, the AFL-CIO will be profiling leaders and activists to spotlight the diverse contributions Hispanics and Latinos have made to the labor movement. Today’s profile features Luis Jurado.

Luis Jurado has been a member of IUPAT’s Local 20 and District Council 9 for 17 years. In 2021, Jurado decided to become more proactive in his union, and he was elected as a steward for the housing division. Jurado is thankful to the IUPAT for a career that has allowed him to provide a better life for himself, his wife and three kids.
