We Supply America

Sometimes, the best thing we can do is be bold. And this is one of those times. We’ve been through a lot. But we’re Steelworkers, and we were made for these fights. Our union built this country, and we’re ready to do it again. It’s time to get to work rebuilding America, using the things WE MAKE and invest in the things WE DO. That’s why our union is launching a new campaign: We Supply America.

Manufacturing is vital to national defense

It’s been more than 200 days without any action on steel and aluminum imports that threaten our country's national security, despite promises from the president. Meanwhile, plants are idle, imports are rising and workers’ jobs are at risk. Every day without action is another day that hurts USW members, our communities and our nation. Please join us in urging the Trump administration to keep its promises by signing our petition at www.usw.org/232

Leading the Fight for Fair Trade

Steelworkers have been fighting for workers’ rights and human rights around the world. The fight for fair trade is something we’ve led for generations – often times leading when no one else does. Watch and share this video from our 2017 convention.

Carrier Corp. Moving 1,400 Jobs to Mexico

Carrier Corporation has, for decades, been a vital manufacturing operation in Indianapolis. The hard work of the skilled and dedicated employees has been the backbone of the company’s success: making quality American-made products that fetch huge company profits. Now, the company plans to close its operations in Indiana, move to Mexico, and pay workers poverty wages. This decision will devastate the 1,400 workers at the facility, our families and our community. We call on Carrier Corporation and its corporate parent, United Technologies to reverse this heartless decision to abandon American workers and stay in Indianapolis.
