Virginia Eredia, who was laid off by the Terranea after working nearly six years as a turndown attendant. Eredia said: “After losing my job, I lost my house, my car, and had to go into a lot of debt. This money will help ease some of that and will help me buy a car to get to work. I would have never received this had I not chosen to stand up for my rights.
