Welcome to District 1 of the USW
From the Upper Peninsula of Michigan to the banks of the Ohio River in southern Ohio, members in District 1 are the backbone of the economies in their states. They make steel, tires, glass, paper, petrochemicals, auto parts, pipes, ceramics, paint and countless other essential goods. They mine iron ore, drive buses, refine oil, produce chemicals and care for patients in hospitals and nursing facilities. All the while, they have each other’s backs in the fight for strong contracts, safer workplaces and secure retirements.
“OH-MI, District 1 members are some of the best in the USW!”
Donnie Blatt
