| Info | Born in Mexico City, Alex has traveled far and accomplished many things. Her family moved to the United States when she was young and settled in Southern California. Her father's restaurant, Pedro's, was a magnet for local politicians and businessmen in Huntington Beach. She attended Magnolia High School and continued her education at Cyprus College.
Upon graduation, she went to work for Pacific Bell and joined the Communications Workers of America, Local #9400. This is where she became active in the labor movement, her life's work. During her 18 years with the union, Alex worked her way from shop steward to area steward. Her incredible dedication to her fellow employees paid off and she was elected to the Executive Board of CWA #9400.
Alex personally understands the hardships many working people experience. She is a single mother and became a naturalized American in 1990. Her sensitivity to the needs of immigrants and working women has added to her leadership qualities.
She was elected Second Vice-Chair in 1997 and First Vice-Chair in 2001.
