Join the USW
Being a USW member means having a voice on the job. If you are interested in forming a union at your workplace, we are here to help. Call our toll free hotline at 1-877-511-8792, or fill out this form and someone will be in touch with you.
With a union, you and your coworkers will have the ability to collectively bargain for the fair wages and benefits and working conditions that will help keep you safe and healthy on the job – and your employer will have to come to the bargaining table to negotiate with you and your coworkers.
