The loss of jobs during the pandemic became the catalyst for union activist Naden Abenes to run for public office under the New Democratic Party banner. Abenes was handpicked by NDP leaders to be their candidate for the Vancouver Quadra riding.
Abenes, who is an active union organizer for Unite Here Local 40, works as a room attendant at the Hyatt Regency in Vancouver. She has helped mobilize hotel workers laid off during the pandemic to organize rallies and strikes against hotel management in Metro Vancouver. She also joined a union-organized hunger strike outside the British Columbia parliament building last year, calling on the provincial leadership to step in.
