Emmanuel Segurawas born and raised in a trailer in south Louisiana by way of Costa Rica.
- I come from an immigrant working class background, my father a butcher, my mother a housekeeper. I lived and went to university in New Orleans, starting 2009, while working in the service industry. As a young socialist at the time I didn’t know what to do with my politics. I was developing a materialist framework from my awesome professors but wasn’t plugged into anything. I then was involved with a unionization effort at a hotel I was working at in New Orleans, from the beginning to the end. I’ve helped lead delegations to change work hours, push for breaks, turn out for actions and rallies. My coworkers and I led a two year fight to win the union and another two years to bring home the contract victory. After the hotel fight I’ve organized on the Mississippi gulf coast, and in Dallas, TX. This past year I’ve been organizing inflight catering workers in a contract fight with a team that includes organizers and rank and file leaders. We’ve done massive turnout in the hundreds, lead a strike vote, organized the largest civil disobedience action in Fort Worth, and continue to make positive changes in the shop.[1]
