Union’s ‘We Supply America’ Bus Scheduled to Stop at USW Locals to Highlight Jobs, Community Benefits of Robust Investment
Local 759L members at the Mississippi Polymers facility in Corinth, Miss., in July defeated their company’s proposed concessions to gain a three-year agreement that maintained their health benefits and raised wages.
The labor community suffered an immeasurable loss today with the passing of Rich Trumka, a true friend of our union and of workers everywhere.
Workers across every facet of our economy, including hundreds of thousands of USW members, are ready and willing to help our nation meet its needs.
The purposes of the PRO Act are simple: to ensure workers can push for the changes we want to see at our jobs without fear of retaliation, and to strengthen workers’ rights to form a union and negotiate for those changes if we so choose.
Rapid Response is asking USW members across the country to contact their U.S. senators and urge them to vote YES for the PRO Act. Please call your senators at: 877-607-0785. (Remember, you have two senators, so be sure to make two calls!)
Today we urge officials of the U.S. Virgin Islands to quickly hammer out a plan for paying back wages to government workers subjected to illegal pay cuts during a fiscal crisis a decade ago.
