Making a difference through our activism
Winning rights for workers goes far beyond what you win in your collective agreement. Through the United Steelworkers' political and lobbying efforts, our members and activists campaign at every level of government for better labour laws, laws to protect wages and pensions in bankruptcies, to protect job security, to strengthen the public health care system, to improve women's rights, to expand public education and job-training, to win better trade laws and much more. Get involved.
