Our Union
We are the United Steelworkers, North America’s largest industrial union. We’re 850,000 members and retirees strong in the United States, Canada and the Caribbean, proudly representing workers across a wide variety of industries including atomic, chemical, energy, glass, health care, higher education, mining and metals, oil, paper, rubber and more.
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!
