USW Local 310L Des Moines, IA

We represent the hard-working employees of the Bridgestone-Firestone Agricultural Tire Plant in Des Moines, IA.

Beginning in February we will have new times for the union meetings. Here are the dates and times for this month:

Tuesday, February 20- 2:30 PM and 4:30 PM

Wednesday, February 21- 6:30 AM and 12:00 PM

USW Local 310’s Next Gen committee would like to thank everyone who came together to make this year’s Solidarity for Soldiers drive a success.

Take Action

We are calling on everyone to take action on the union busting bill SSB3158 and contact your Iowa State SenatorThe bill requires a union to go to court if the public employer fails to upload an employee list to the labor board for recertification purposes or the unit will be decertified. This proposal penalizes public sector unions for failing to take an action which is not within their control.

Recent News

Take advantage of the free, online educational opportunities offered by USW. We'll update this page as we become aware of labor education classes being offered to union members. Check back periodically to stay up to date.

Solidarity for Soldiers was established by USW Local 310L’s Next Generation Committee in 2015. It is our goal to bring together the labor community in Des Moines to help veterans who are homeless or at risk of being homeless. Each year, we organize a drive to support the Des Moines Homeless Veterans Stand Down.
