In Memoriam

“Annette was a union activist who didn’t fear fighting for her rights. Two years ago she fought and won an equal pay for equal work grievance and won an 11.6 percent raise settlement,” said Chapter 315 President  Peggy O'Neil-Rosales, who represented her. “She believed in the union and often participated at rallies and chapter events. We are saddened losing a dear friend, co-worker, and valued member of the union.”
 
Annette, a Huntington Beach resident, was proud to have earned her Master’s Degree at CSULB. As a mother of two and grandmother to one, she was very devoted to her family.
 
O’Neil-Rosales notes that there have been several complaints about other campus elevators jamming mid-floor in recent years, one incident involving an employee who was eight months pregnant. She jumped down, with students helping her escape.

“The chapter is investigating Annette’s accident,” added O’Neil-Rosales. “If the evidence supports it, we will file a health and safety grievance to make sure that this never happens to anyone else on campus.”

Funeral arrangements are pending. Condolence cards and donations to the family can be sent care of the chapter, with any checks made out to "Mark Le Clair":
