About Us

United Steelworkers Local 9460 is the region's leading healthcare workers union. We represent healthcare workers at over a dozen workplaces, from the Chequamegon Bay to the Iron Range, from Pine City to Ely, and everywhere in between. We came together and organized this union in 2000 so that healthcare workers in our region could have a voice. Since our founding, we have succesfuly fought for and won higher wages, benefits and working conditions for thousands of workers. And we're just getting started!

Currently we have 15 different contracts between four different employers: Essentia Health, Aspirus St. Luke's, Ecumen Lakeshore and Lake Superior Community Health Center. Each contract has a different makeup, but between them we cover job titles ranging from Environmental Services to Doctors. Members covered by a specific contract have their own "unit" with its own elected unit chair.

We have a physical office in Room 206 of the Duluth Labor Temple at 2002 London Road in Duluth MN. We are open Monday through Friday from 9am to 5pm. You can reach our office by phone at (218) 724-5223, or email at usw9460 [at] gmail [dot] com. In addition to this website, we also have a facebook page at: www.facebook.com/local9460

We hold monthly membership meetings on the 3rd Tuesday of every month at 5:30pm. We meet in the basement of the Duluth Labor Temple. Every member is welcome and encouraged to attend. All members are free speak and vote on all matters brought up at our meetings. We are a membership driven organization. Together, we all are the union!
