Regina Polk was a Teamster. One of the first women on the professional staff in the quintessentially male-dominated organization, she used pluck and determination to fight for the rights of the overworked and underpaid. Whether on the playground as a child or on the picket lines Regina never shrank from a fight for right. Ahead of her time, she took up the cause against sexual harassment in the workplace, job security and healthcare. She was a rising star in the labor movement until she was killed in a plane crash at the age of 33.
Author Terry Spencer Hesser has now captured Regina's life story in her book.
