USW: KPS Purchase of Briggs & Stratton Will Rescue Hundreds of Jobs
Our union is committed to working with KPS to ensure that the proud tradition of engine-making is preserved for future generations of USW members in Milwaukee.
Manufacturing
USW members manufacture so much more than steel. They have their hands in creating products for nearly every sector of the economy. They manufacture glass, paper and cement for commercial and consumer use. They make Cutco and Utica kitchen utensils and glass products for companies like Libbey, Corning, Anchor, PPG and World Kitchen. They make building materials, plumbing fixtures, automotive parts, safety equipment, containers, cabinetry, furniture, mattresses, food and drinks, cleaning equipment, windows and doors, candles, holiday lights and much more.
