Pledge your solidarity with striking ATI workers!

On March 30, more than 1,300 of our steelworker siblings at eight locations in Penn., Ohio, N.Y. and Mass., began an unfair labor practice strike against their employer ATI.

ATI is determined to force our brothers and sisters to accept unnecessary concessions on health care and other issues even though they worked to keep the business running, while management stayed home, throughout the pandemic.

After going without a wage increase since 2014 these skilled, essential workers deserve a fair contract.
