Mollie had a tremendous impact on the labor movement throughout her life. She was a proud member of the Chicago Typographical Union No. 16 and served as a delegate to the Chicago Federation of Labor and the Illinois AFL-CIO. She was also a founding member of the Chicago Coalition of Labor Union Women. As a young woman, she was part of the demonstration supporting the Republic Steel strikers, where ten died in the Memorial Day Massacre of 1937.
