A member with more than 19 years of service, Gonzalez attends union meetings and was part of the pay-equity lawsuit settled by Local 237 and New York City. “A lot of unions don’t have what we have,” says Gonzalez, who appreciates the security, support and benefits her membership provides. She enjoys interacting with students and mediating situations before they escalate. Gonzales has three children, including John Eric Rodriguez, who is also a school safety agent.
