and now lives in Puerto Rico. He worked many years as an organizer with Local 108 (L.I.U.N.A.) of the
AFL/CIO, advocating for immigrant and undocumented workers in the solid waste and recycling industry.
During the Attica Rebellion, September 9, 1971, he supported the inmates in their negotiations. Mr. Alba

Ernesto “Che” Guevara, Mr. Alba continues to advocate for self- determination for Puerto Rico and has
