USW miners start of American infrastructure
Our mining members are literally the first step in producing everything from appliances to electric vehicles - everything that moves America starts with us.

The baddest bus on the highway is #USWMade
We didn't just travel thousands of miles across our country to spread the stories of how we build our communities and need to invest in infrastructure, we did it in style - in the baddest bus on the highway - #USWMade by the members of Local 8042 at Starr Image Products.
The heart and soul of American infrastructure
The proud members of USW Local 6787 in Burns Harbor, Indiana, are the heart and soul of American infrastructure. The streets and bridges that we drive on; the military tanks and ships that protect our country; the buildings we live and work in; the airplanes we travel on; the automobiles we depend on; the clean energy powering our future - all of it begins here.
American made: for our children and our children's children
When we use #USWMade, American-made pipe like that made at McWane Ductile in Ohio, we're not only upgrading our outdated water systems. We're investing in us - the American worker - and our children and our children's children. More: uswvoices.org.

So the next time you’re having a meal, flip to see if it’s #USWMade! #PlateFlippers
