CPS Lunchroom manager Juan Burrell featured in new mural & national Labor Day Tribute livestream

Local 1 member Juan Burrell is a Chicago Public Schools lunchroom manager serving vital meals to Chicago’s students. This past Labor Day weekend he was proud to be the face of a new incredible mural honoring essential workers.

“Even though the COVID has been out here and we’ve been in fear of it, as essential workers we come out here every day and put our lives on the line,” Juan said to ABC7 Chicago. “I’ll continue to come out here and be on the front line.”
