Local Union Members and Activists Learn Organizing Skills

pic-aMembers of United Steelworkers Local 3657 and student activists from University of Pittsburgh and Point Park University gave up a weekend on December 5 and 6 to attend an organizing course at the USW International Headquarters in Pittsburgh.

The eighteen participants were asked to focus on the organizing process under the National Labor Relations Act which would help them develop useful skills for a variety of settings. One goal of this class was to promote discussion on ways that their locals can get involved in organizing. 

The interactive classes were conducted by Maria Somma and Jeff Cech from the USW Organizing department, and John Lepley, USW Local 3657 president. This course has been previously taught in several Districts and has received praise from the rank-and-file members who attended.

The Local 3657 Executive Board thanks all those who took this course for stepping up and getting involved.
