Once again our District is being affected by a natural disaster; this one caused by historic flooding in and around the Baton Rouge/Gonzales Area causing many of our members to suffer losses. As of today there are still areas where the water has not receded, and other areas still under the threat of flooding.
We have Locals and businesses asking to make donations to our members who have experienced flooding. Monetary donations can be sent to Jordy Richardson Secretary/Treasurer of the District 13 Council with a notation for USW District 13 Flood Relief Victims and mailed to: District 13 Regional Council, PO Box 490, Gonzales, LA 70707.
Any donated items can be sent to the USW Baton Rouge Sub-District Office at the following address: 5723 Superior Drive, Suite Bl, Baton Rouge, LA 70816.
In the past whether it was hurricanes or tornadoes the members and locals of District 13 and throughout the USW when asked have responded to help their fellow Union Brothers and Sisters in need. We are asking again for your help. Those who have not been affected please consider sending a donation.
Donations can also be sent to the USW Charitable Fund made payable to the United Steelworkers Charitable and Educational Fund and mailed to 60 Boulevard of the Allies, Pittsburgh PA 15222.
Money can be raised through plant gate collections or from the Local's General Fund.
The need is now so please treat this as urgently as possible. Keep in mind it could be you or your Local in the future asking for assistance. Please let's help our Brothers, Sisters, and their families in their time of need.
WE SAY WE ARE UNION LET'S ACT AS A UNION.
