This year’s Rapid Response conference wasn’t the first for District 7 SOAR member Scott Marshall, but in his eyes, it was one of the most productive.
Meetings with several representatives on the Hill led to obtaining some additional cosponsors on a few of the bills the USW is fighting for, including the Protect America's Workers Act.
That kind of grassroots work is exactly the type of campaigning Scott knows to be vital to our union’s continued success and for the prosperity of American workers.
“We have to be politically involved, and we have to fight for the whole working class,” Scott said. “We also have to build broad coalitions with all of labor, including new labor forms.”
Back home at his local, Scott works hard with his fellow brothers and sisters on issues like the stopping the TPP and promoting labor rights. He’s also always encouraging younger retirees to become more involved in SOAR because he knows how important it is for everyone to come together.
This determination is one of the things Scott loves about the USW and is honored to be a part of the camaraderie the union exudes.
“I’m proud to be a Steelworker because of our fighting spirit and our forward-looking approach to international and labor solidarity.”
