Steelworkers are strong, we are proud, and we are here to fight for our members. When you think Steelworkers, public employees are not the first employees to come to mind. The United Steelworkers is a diverse Union representing employees from steel mills & rum disterllies to public employees and hospital workers. The fastest growing sectors of the USW are in healthcare and public sector jobs. Although our struggles as public employees may be different then private sector employees we must stick together and demand dignity and respect for all workers. *9187 Presidents*
