USW Local 2-20 Next Generation Committee Sponsored a Bike Safety Class for Kids

On July 10, USW District 2 and the Next Generation Committee from Local 2–20 in Kaukauna, Wisconsin, sponsored a bike safety class for kids, along with the Kaukauna Police Department and the Recyclist Bicycle Co. 

Before beginning their “class”, every child was fitted with a free bike helmet, which was donated by the Steelworkers.

The Kaukauna Police Department set up a course in the parking lot with obstacles consisting of railroad crossings, cars, yield signs, and stop signs. Some of the kids enjoyed themselves so much that they went through the course multiple times.

When the kids were finished with the obstacle course, Local 2-20 had a station set up where they could get some free stickers and bottles of water and Gatorade. The kids also were able to enter a raffle for a chance to win gift certificates good at the Recyclist Bicycle Co. 

This type of event shows that Steelworkers are not only committed to safety in their facilities, but to the people and families in the community as well. 

A  SPECIAL THANK YOU TO ALL INVOLVED for the great TEAMWORK on making this a successful event: Recyclist Bicycle Co., Kaukauna P.D., Local 2-20, Tyler & Curt Rutten, Jason Wilcox and District 2.
