Members Go ‘All In’ on Solidarity 

USW members dedicated themselves to being “All In” on solidarity and the fight for workers’ rights on Monday, passing a resolution – echoing the convention theme – that committed them to organizing, educating and bargaining strong contracts for members while continuing the fight for fair trade and social and economic justice. 

“We are all in on organizing, and we are excited for our future,” declared Ross Brown of Local 1944 in District 3. “Over the years, we saw greedy corporations and their cuts.” 

Brown said his local, a Canadian information and communications tech union, once had about 15,000 members but now has only about 4,000. 

Local 1944 has begun to turn the tide through organizing, said Brown Monday as he called for delegates to vote in favor of the resolution, which they did unanimously. 

Delegates resolved, in part, to “foster a movement in which we all have a place, providing opportunities for workers to learn and grow, advancing our shared priorities and taking our union boldly into the future.”
