The Steelworkers Organization of Active Retirees (SOAR) concerns itself with and deals with the social, economic, educational, legislative and political developments and concerns of its members and spouses, the USW and the labor movement. Our purpose is threefold: To better the communities in which we live, to further the policies of the United Steelworkers, and to engage in political and legislative action.
Rapid Response News
Rapid Response, our union’s nonpartisan grassroots activist program, provides an opportunity for every USW member to weigh in on legislation concerning labor and work-related issues. By joining together, we encourage government actions that will positively impact our families, contracts and communities. Learn more!
