Civil and Human Rights

USW Civil and Human Rights Logo

          Our Union reflects the diverse racial and ethnic groups reflecting the population of the United States. We are committed to working towards full equality and civil rights for the citizens of the U.S., Canada and around the world. This vision is charted in the Union's constitution and mandated by international convention resolutions and policy. The Civil and Human Rights Committee's priority is to provide technical expertise in handling discrimination problems and situations; to conduct education and training seminars on civil rights and women's rights; to develop resource material; and to provide the local union with updated information on the subject of human rights.  

          If you are having an issue with civil or human rights while at work, whether it is from a member of the management team or a bargaining unit member, please contact the Local Union President at [email protected] or the co-chair of the Civil and Human Rights Committee Melissa Thorne at [email protected].
