to be an asset to the important work being conducted by APALA, organized
labors nationwide advocacy group for Asian workers. I feel
great, Uddin said about the nomination, which is expected to be approved

will continue to play an important role in organizing workers, with a particular
focus on Asians and other immigrant workers, said Uddin, who was born in
