Steelworkers Union

The Steelworkers Union, formally known as the United Steelworkers (USW), is a labor union representing workers in the steel industry and related sectors in North America. Founded in 1942, it advocates for fair wages, better working conditions, and workers' rights. The union negotiates collective bargaining agreements on behalf of its members, ensuring they have a voice in workplace matters. Over time, the USW has expanded to include workers from other industries, such as mining and oil, addressing broader labor issues. Its mission is to empower workers and enhance their quality of life through solidarity and collective action.
