We are the United Steelworkers, North America’s largest industrial union. We’re 1.2 million members and retirees strong in the United States, Canada and the Caribbean. We proudly represent men and women who work in nearly every industry there is.
The company will be recalling more members to return to work next week. Since the company has exhausted volunteers they will be calling/emailing the least senior members and mandate their return.

Please make sure that you keep an eye on your emial/phone to avoid any issues and as always if you have questions please reach out and ask them.
