USW Convention | April 7-10, 2025 Get registration information here
At the recent USW International Convention, we took time to acknowledge the good work that locals and Districts are doing in Rapid Response.
Since the last Convention, we marked two decades of activism in our program. We are grateful to every member who has stepped up to educate another sister or brother, to empower others to take action, and to engage in this important work.
Top District
The District that earned the top spot since the last Convention is District 10. Congratulations Director Bob McAuliffe, Rapid Response Coordinator George Piasecki and the hardworking team of Congressional District Coordinators who keep setting the bar so high.
