Our Union
We are the United Steelworkers Local 13214, Southwest Wyoming’s largest industrial union. With over 1000 dedicated members and retirees, we have proudly represented the hardworking men and women at the Westvaco and Granger mining facilities for 75 years. As the backbone of the region’s largest soda ash mine, our members play a vital role in fueling industries across the globe with one of Wyoming’s most valuable natural resources. Through decades of solidarity, we have fought for fair wages, strong benefits, and safe working conditions, ensuring our members are treated with dignity and respect. More than just a union, we are a family—united in protecting workers’ rights and securing a stronger future for generations to come. USW Local 13214 isn’t just part of history—we’re shaping the future of Wyoming’s mining industry every day.

Where Each Dues Dollar Goes
As a member of the USW, you have a say in where your money goes. You oversee how your dues are set by electing your delegates to the International Convention. You also determine how dues are administered by participating in local union meetings so that your local union spends its money according to your priorities.
Financial controls ensure that the membership oversees all spending. Local union and International books are audited regularly.
