The USW has been in the forefront of legislative battles, advancing the cause of our members and defending our members' rights. Just as USW solidarity at the bargaining tables helps to improve our jobs, USW members are working together to stop the continued assault on working families through legislative action.

The USW Legislative Department coordinates these actions lobbying in Congress, testifying before congressional committees and federal agencies, and working with the Executive Branch. We monitor legislation that affects our members and their families and work closely with our Rapid Response Department to strategize the grassroots activities that have made the USW a force in Congress.
