The new agreement contains three weeks of 100 percent paid parental leave.
This contract sets a standard for the industry – it positions the company to succeed and invest in our facilities while making sure that workers, families and communities continue to share in that success.
USW's Connie Mabin, director of the Next Generation program, talked about the union's young worker initiative and the future of labor on The Leslie Marshall Show this week.
The program offers six $4,000 scholarships to students entering a four-year degree program and two $2,000 scholarships to students entering two-year degree programs and are awarded for each year of their curriculum.
