Vincent Quiles

Hi! I’m Vince, the lead organizer from Home Depot store #4112, and President of Home Depot Workers United. I also do interviews for The Real News Network. People are my passion, and the relationships I have built with various working people are what motivate me to fight for a better economy that is fair to the millions of workers who prop it up, but are regularly taken for granted and forgotten.
