(Metropolitan Washington Council, AFL-CIO)LiUNA 657 member and lead organizer Ernest Ojito (right) took home gold in the 2013 USA Judo Senior Nationals earlier this month. Ojito won four straight matches with the maximum score, clinching the championship when he beat the top-ranked player, who had beat him last year. “The secret to success is never giving up” says Ojito. “As long as you haven’t given up on you, the sky is the limit. Dream big.” “Our brother Ernest Ojito represents the very best of the LiUNA spirit” said Dennis Martire, LiUNA Vice President and Mid-Atlantic Regional Manager. “We’re proud that he won the gold medal on Saturday, but we’re even prouder that he shows up for work at LiUNA every Monday to fight for working families.” Click here for LiUNA Mid-Atlantic’s full report on Ojito’s victory. - photo courtesy LiUNA Mid-Atlantic
