My Name is Rob Golack and I'm an organizer with USW Local-9445 District 10.

I am excited to share with you all that our union president, Terry Murrell, had the opportunity to meet with President Joe Biden at the United Steelworkers Headquarters in Pittsburgh.

We regret to inform our members of the loss of Courtney Smith. Our prayers and thoughts go out to her family and loved ones. Courtney will be missed dearly.

Today, we would like to highlight Sukhpal Kaur 9445's Women Of Steel chairwoman. Sukhpal is always finding new and exciting ways to raise the bar for her local Women Of Steel chapter. This week Sukhpal and her other union sisters joined together to make twenty care packages for their local women's shelter. Sukhpal has been a member of the USW for 23 years, where she currently works in the Quality Department at the Harvest Hills plant in Verona.

We would like to congratulate all the members of our local who took the initiative to go to the 2023 Health, Safety, and Environmental Conference in Pittsburgh! They showed that a dedication to the health and safety of our coworkers is our number one priority.

"I'm a so glad to be apart of this year's USW District 10 Rapid Response Congressional Coordinator Training. It's just day 1 and its already been extremely helpful to our local's Rapid Response training program. Please stay tuned for more updates!"
