Elenita Quema

UPW, Local 646

"Being in a strike line is different. You have to be a person that someone can rely on."

As a gastroenterology technician, Elenita is the last face a patient at Maui Memorial Medical sees before their procedure and the first face they see when they wake up. Her passion for serving as a calm voice in trying times has come in handy in her union activism, especially on the strike line.
