I've been at Howmet for about ten years now, and many of you already know who I am. For those of you who don't, allow me to tell you a little about the path that brought me here. My first exposure to the mill was as summer help, where I filled a number of different roles around the mill. From electric anneal, to melt shop builder, to cleaning out oil pits, I learned my way around. After growing up in the RMI family, I knew a lot of folks here, and I got to meet a lot more as summer help.
After finishing college with a business degree, I came back to the mill and found myself drafted into the machine grind area, driving one of those big high lifts. You learn pretty quick how hard it is to be delicate with that kind of machinery.
From there, I made the jump to the C&T Union and the floater position. I spent a few years learning and relearning as many positions as I could before moving to inspection, then certifications. I'm now the Wavefront clerk, a new position tasked with building and maintaining the new inventory system in the lab.
I'm fairly new to the shop steward position, but I have a deep well of experienced resources that I can draw on. I look forward to building my skills and using them to help all of my union family.
My name is Heidi Young and I have been the Unit Chairperson for USW Local 2155-7 since April of 2021.
I have worked with the company now called “Howmet Aerospace” since June of 2016. I started as a production laborer in the Bar Finish department where I operated band saws and lathes. I worked in that department for 2 years before bidding to our amalgamated clerical and technical union.
My first bid job into The C&T union was a material applicator position where I learned the process of taking a titanium ingot and making it into finished product. After one year in that bid, I took another bid to a position where I schedule work for a billet forging machine among other duties. I am currently in this position and have been for a little over 3 years.
I also belong to our Woman of Steel committee and our Recreational Activities committee. I am a big supporter of unions and am proud to belong to one!
District 3 will be holding a week-long District School at the Trickle Creek Lodge & Kimberley Alpine Resort in Kimberley, BC, October 2-7, 2022. The school commences with registration on Sunday, October 2nd and continues until noon on Friday, October 7th.
Available courses:
Facing Management This course offers an opportunity to learn new skills and strategies for Steelworker activists to use in joint labour-management committees and as a shop steward. This course is designed for new and experienced activists that would like to learn about union management relations, traditional and modern management theories and systems, and the history of work organization. Communication skills, group dynamics training, and conflict resolution skills will be emphasized. The course offers hands-on practice sessions in skill-building techniques so that you will be as comfortable in the boardroom as you are at a union meeting.
Occupational Health and Safety This course is designed to introduce members to their role as a worker representative and their role on the joint occupational health and safety committee. This course will look at how to identify and address hazards, and how to assess the controls required to address hazards. We will guide participants on how they can their provincial health and safety law along with Part II of the Canada Labour Code, regulations, and related laws. Participants will practice workplace inspections, accident and incident investigations and discuss other duties of workplace committee members or health and safety representatives.
Leadership Steelworkers are leaders inside and outside of our workplaces: protecting workers’ rights, speaking out for change, and motivating and encouraging the participation of members at work, in our communities and through political action. Leadership for Action will help you develop leadership skills, building on your strengths to communicate effectively with members to build solidarity. Sessions focus on leadership styles, presentation skills, strategic planning, campaign management, mentoring, problem-solving and conflict resolution.
Building Inclusive locals When we combat racism or sexism, accommodate a worker or speak out against homophobia, we are helping to build understanding and respect in the union, and helping to build the solidarity we need to take on the struggles in the workplace, at the bargaining table, and in our legislatures. Sometimes it is easy to identify where we need to focus our efforts, but this course will challenge participants to dig a little deeper and examine some of our structures that may prevent activism in our union and workplace.
