Jaime Quiroz

USW Local 1011 President

I am so excited and pleased to announce our very own Union Brother Swifty Sanders (BOF), who is a contestant and appearing on the 2nd season of “Tough as Nails”. First episode will be aired on CBS February 10th 7pm.  Join me in showing some support to our Brother Swifty and make sure to tune in.

“I’m with local 1011, formally ArcelorMittal, now Cleveland Cliffs, with 9 years of service. For me the choice to compete was easy, I liked what the show stood for in showcasing the hard working blue collar Americans out there. To have a life changing opportunity along with being on a show that highlighted the importance of the dedicated hard working people like me. It was a total win win!! I’m so blessed and thankful for this opportunity,”-Swifty Sanders.
