Tena Long of Stater Bros. #27 has been in the industry for 22 years. She started out in the meat department and is now a Scan Coordinator/Back-Up Receiver/Checker.
Long’s hobbies include movie watching, walking her dogs and spending time with her two children.
When asked what inspired her to get more involved she said, “I was a union steward in Phoenix. In 1996 I moved to California and started with Albertsons in the Meat Department. Pat Lee asked if I would like the position here and I said you bet!”
Q: How would your life be different if you were not a union member?
A: “I know that the protections and benefits I have now wouldn’t be possible.”
Q: If you could make a change in the workplace, what would it be?
A: “To have the help and the hours we need to take care of our customers.”
Q: What do you like most about your job?
A: “Working with the public. I like being out and around people, the pay is good and we have great benefits.”
