District 9

District 9 of our union includes the states of Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Mississippi, North Carolina, Tennessee and South Carolina and the U.S. Virgin Islands.

Welcome to District 9 of the USW

Whether they build tires in Tennessee or Alabama, produce paper in Alabama, Florida or South Carolina, make cutting-edge fiber-optic cable in North Carolina, fabricate plastic in Mississippi, manufacture school busses in Georgia, or perform essential services for the government of the Virgin Islands, members in District 9 have one important thing in common: Their union solidarity.

“District 9 is a diverse district, but that is what gives us our strength. We do every job imaginable in this great union, we come from big cities and small towns, but first and foremost, we all STAND UNION STRONG!”
