2020 has been filled with many challenges, but we couldn't be more proud of how you were there for your families, your communities and your fellow union members through it all. We hope you have a safe, happy and healthy holiday season.
When a group of Next Geners were asked to repair crumbling basketball hoops at a Pittsburgh area school, they quickly realized the hoops were beyond repair. The kids didn't believe it when our members pitched in their own money to order new hoops. This week, Myron Bynum of USW Local 9445 made sure the kids of Seville knew this union keeps it word.
Join us to learn more about the campaign kickoff to formally form a union at The University of Pittsburgh.
In October 1969, the USW formed a Union at Fisher Cast Steel in West Jefferson, Ohio. This week, the workers there celebrated their milestone by unanimously voting down a union-busting contract. Almost 100 USW members from across the state showed up to show support and solidarity.
We're so grateful to have the amazing activists and volunteers we do in this union who sacrifice so much to fight for better lives for everyone. There's still work to do but let's take a quick breather to say THANK YOU! (And if you haven't yet - GO VOTE!!!!!) #USWVotes #1u
Flippers. That’s what you call people who religiously turn over plates and other ware to look for a stamp from Homer Laughlin, founded in 1871. The logo represents over 100 years of craftsmanship, artistry and pride. From fine china to colorful Fiestaware, this ware is proudly made by the 600 members of USW Local 419M in Newell, W. Va. So the next time you’re having a meal, flip to see if it’s #USWMade! #PlateFlippers
