The USW is proud to have been part of the movement for change that led Barack Obama to the highest office in the land and brought a sweeping victory to the U.S. Congress for working families. Congratulations to the unprecedented number of activists on this historic moment. But make no mistake, there's plenty of hard work yet to do to turn our country around. Stay tuned for more on how you can stay involved.
