USW PAC Leaders Advance Workers’ Agenda 

The USW convention’s work to advance a worker-centered legislative and policy agenda culminated Thursday in recognition of districts and locals with the top USW PAC contributions. 

Members voluntarily contribute to the PAC to support pro-worker candidates in U.S. elections, realizing that laws and policies enacted by elected officials directly affect organizing, bargaining, safety and numerous other workplace issues. 

“I know which side really fights for us,” Jake Baskey, a delegate and member of Local 1915 in Pemberville, Ohio, said from the convention floor earlier this week. He noted that former Sen. Sherrod Brown long worked alongside USW members while another Ohioan, JD Vance, refused even to meet with workers. 

Delegates recognized the following for outstanding support of the USW PAC:
