CHEEKTOWAGA, N.Y. (July 18) – United Steelworkers (USW) District 4 Director Del Vitale, who took office on July 15, today named staff representative David M. Wasiura as the new assistant to the director.
Before becoming director on July 15, Vitale served as assistant to his predecessor, John Shinn, who this week left that post to become the union’s new International Secretary-Treasurer.
District 4 includes Connecticut, Delaware, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Rhode Island, Vermont and Puerto Rico.
Wasiura launched his USW career in 1996 when he followed in his father’s footsteps and began working at the American Brass facility in Buffalo, N.Y. Over the next 15 years, he served in various positions with Local 593, including as vice president and a member of the bargaining committee.
“As a fourth-generation Steelworker, I became involved to give back to my union for all it has provided to myself and my family,” Wasiura said. “As the district organizing coordinator, I have been able to give other workers the same opportunities that I had because of the union. I look forward to working with Director Vitale to grow and strengthen District 4 and fight for all working people.”
In 2004, Wasiura volunteered for the Kerry-Edwards presidential campaign, working primarily in Northwestern Pennsylvania, knocking on doors and talking to union members about issues critical to working families.
In June 2010, Wasiura began working in USW’s political department in Pittsburgh, where he helped to coordinate the USW’s national field program to support pro-worker campaigns across the country.
In January 2013, he returned to District 4 to work with local unions in New Jersey and New England before returning to Buffalo as the district’s organizing coordinator.
“Dave is a hard working devoted unionist who will be an asset to District 4 and our members,” Vitale said.
Since returning to Buffalo, Wasiura has served as coordinator of the district’s Next Gen program and as a member of the Western New York Area Labor Federation Executive Board.

Good day Brothers and Sisters and Friends of Steel,
Your bargaining committee has been working diligently to achieve your best interest at the table. We agreed to pursue the company’s time line in an effort to get the best contract for you, our membership. Our intention was to have a deal for you to consider before vacation shutdown. However, both parties are working through some sensitive monetary issues and we will be taking a recess period for both Teams to evaluate their respective positions.
We are working through very difficult issues that are concerning for the membership and hope to get to a resolve that builds on our past. Our position is, that there is a good future here and that we are an important part of that future in what the Thompson Nickel Belt has to offer our members and community.
We will be reconvening sometime in August, and will be in contact with you, our membership to provide an update as we move forward to our next meeting dates.
Please contact the Union with any questions you may have about the bargaining process, and thanks for your ongoing support.
