What I saw in Puerto Rico was heartbreaking
Help by visiting: usw.org/relief. My name is Luis Mendoza and I'm a Steelworker staff member who was visiting family in Puerto Rico when Hurricane Maria hit last week. What I saw was like a horrific movie scene, and although I got out, my friends and family remain in crisis, including Steelworkers members.
We are the Union: The Origins of Organizing at The University of Pittsburgh
For nearly three years, graduate student employees at Pitt have been organizing and campaigning for a union. What started as colleagues and friends meeting in coffee shops and at each other’s houses became a vast, complex project. Please, take a few minutes to watch the video to hear about the origins of the Graduate Student Organizing Committee at the University of Pittsburgh.
Baby and Dad battle brain cancer, now the Senate - Short
Maggie and Ryan Link should have been enjoying their newlywed years as young, new parents. Instead, this hard-working family faced the battle of their lives: brain cancer for both Ryan and their baby son, Nathan. Now, the family is once again in the fight of their lives, this time against Congress as legislators threaten their health care. Call your Senators at 877-607-0785. Make sure to tell them who you are, where you’re from and to oppose the health care bill.

Not even a hurricane can stop the USW
Sisters and brothers in the U.S. Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico, elsewhere in the Caribbean and along the South have been devastated by Hurricane Irma and its aftermath – some have lost everything. This comes on the heels of Hurricane Harvey that left members in Texas in crisis with months of rebuilding ahead. WATCH and SHARE this video that shows that not even hurricanes can stop us. And if you haven’t yet, please donate: usw.org/relief. #USWCares #StrongerTogether
