On this day in 1975, the Edmund Fitzgerald went down on Lake Superior, claiming 29 lives — among them members of @steelworkers.bsky.social. We remember the brothers lost and stand in solidarity with the working people who keep our region strong. 📸: Smithsonian Magazine

Last week, we joined with our labor allies to urge the administration not to back down on trade measures that protect America’s shipbuilding industry. Workers have seen what happens when our shipyards are sidelined and our jobs are shipped overseas. We can’t afford to retreat again.

Pittsburgh college professors, including USW members, called on Sen. Dave McCormick to protect student aid and research funding. USW member Will Evans spoke to the group about the kind of work being delayed by federal cuts, including his research on treatment for stroke victims.

👻 Happy Halloween! What's scarier to you?

USW brothers Max and Ben Morrissey were recognized for their heroic actions that likely saved many of their coworkers in an accident that claimed their lives at the Toledo Refinery three years ago. The Oregon City Council voted Monday night to name a section of a local avenue in their honor.

I’m so proud of my union sister Roxanne Brown, who will be sworn in as the next International President of the @steelworkers.bsky.social! Let’s keep building worker power across the country! America’s unions thank President McCall for his dedicated service to Steelworkers and ALL working people.

Attendees of the District 1 Women of Steel conference showed up strong this morning, standing in solidarity with Libbey Glass workers on unfair labor practice strike. ✊

Bosses and CEOs can’t expect loyalty from workers when they’re not willing to give it in return. That’s why we have to hold them accountable and demand fair treatment. 👊

It’s National Pasta Day! Did you know we have siblings in Local 9555 who produce pasta, sauce and cheese Buitoni Foods Co. in Danville, VA? Time to plan a union-made spaghetti night! 🍝 Read more: usw.org/news/uswmade...

Kaiser refuses to give workers fair pay, benefits, and the staffing they need to keep patients safe. We stand with the 46,000 UNAC/UHCP, @steelworkers.bsky.social Local 7600, @ofnhp.bsky.social, @unitehere.org Hawaii, and HNHP health care workers on STRIKE fighting for a fair contract ✊

“When it gets this hot, this is just what we do,” said USW Local 310L President Keenan Bell on automatic heat protections at Bridgestone’s Des Moines plant. Every worker deserves that safety. It’s time for a national heat-safety standard. Read more: usw.to/5hm

Hispanic Heritage Month begins today! It’s a time to honor the history and contributions of Hispanic and Latino communities. Our union is proud to fight discrimination and build workplaces where every member has the chance to grow, succeed, and be respected.

"CEOs, alongside their political cronies, are plotting to cram even more into their pockets, break the #MiddleClass and create a permanent underclass of workers without economic power or the political clout that goes with it." - @steelworkers.bsky.social President Dave Mcall. usw.org/the-plot-to-...

Enemy of Labor #3? George Pullman ❌ He built luxury railcars while exploiting workers. In 1894, he cut wages but kept rents high in his company town. When workers protested, he crushed them—sparking the violent Pullman Strike. Profits over people, every time.

The plan to eliminate the Chemical Safety Board would gut a vital safeguard. After the BP-Husky explosion killed two USW brothers, the CSB’s investigation helped prevent future tragedies. Cutting it won’t save money—but it will cost lives. Read more: usw.org/news/chemica...

In honor of #LaborDay, check out the new blog by my good friend, @steelworkers.bsky.social President, David McCall. It's titled, "It's a Great Life." usw.org/its-a-great-... #UnionStrong #1u

On this day in 1963, more than 250,000 people gathered for the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom. It demanded fair wages, equal rights, and dignity on the job—and showed that civil rights and labor rights are inseparable.

"Purely partisan #redistricting has turned the entire political process upside down, enabling officials to dictate to the voters and remain in office no matter how much harm they inflicted on millions of working people." - @steelworkers.bsky.social President David McCall usw.org/gerrymanderi...

Enemy of Labor #2: Henry Clay Frick. 👎 Carnegie’s ruthless lieutenant, he sent Pinkertons to attack striking steelworkers in 1892, killing & injuring dozens to crush the union and protect profits. ❌ We’ll never forget.

Unions boost wages 🚀 On average, a union worker earns 12.8% more in wages than their nonunionized peers. But unions don’t just help union workers—they help ALL workers by raising standards. Read our new report about how unions are good for workers AND communities: www.epi.org/publication/...

Welcome to our new series: Enemies of Labor. Enemy #1? Andrew Carnegie. He built a name on libraries and philanthropy — but built his fortune by exploiting workers. Carnegie’s steel empire violently broke the Homestead Strike, slashed wages and fought unions at every turn.

Our thoughts are with our siblings in the Mon Valley as they deal with aftermath of a deadly explosion at USS’s Clairton Works. In the coming days, we’ll be working with the appropriate authorities to ensure a thorough investigation. apnews.com/article/clai...

We're lucky to have 4 million+ amazing members. One is Harmon Dent, who leads our Texas chapter. Right now, he's standing up to Trump and Republicans' cruel budget cuts. Learn all about it from @steelworkers.bsky.social President David McCall! www.dailykos.com/sto...

Kenny of @steelworkers.bsky.social Local 8888: “I’m a third-generation shipbuilder… Trump wants to cut millions of dollars from OSHA’s budget and eliminate more than 200 of the agency’s staff. Cuts to OSHA would put tens of millions of workers in every sector of the economy at risk.

Kenny, veteran, shipyard welder and member of @steelworkers.bsky.social Local 8888: “I served for 22 years in the Army Reserve…[Trump] wants to cut tens of thousands of VA workers, many of whom are veterans themselves. Proposed cuts to the VA are a betrayal of patriotic Americans.”

@steelworkers.bsky.social International VP Roxanne Brown: “Every worker should be able to go home at the end of the day safe and healthy. That’s not a privilege, that’s a right! Because of these rollbacks, millions of workers are less safe on the job.”

1 in 5 workers is an immigrant. Immigrants are a crucial part of the US economy, and Trump's radical deportation agenda will hurt us all. Trump’s increase in deportations will destroy 6 million jobs—for both immigrants AND US-born workers: www.epi.org/publication/...

The CSB investigates chemical disasters, saves lives, and protects communities. With a small staff and budget, it more than pays for itself - yet Trump wants to eliminate it. Read more from David McCall's latest blog: usw.to/5eo

🚨The Senate just passed a budget bill that includes deep cuts to programs vital to working people. Specifically, the bill would slash funding for programs that support health care and clean energy jobs and would provide significant tax breaks for the wealthy.

Fairview Range Medical Center has cared for Iron Range families for decades. Now it’s at risk, as congressional Republicans push to slash Medicaid to fund tax breaks for the rich. “It’s a vital part of our community,” said USW Local 9349’s Marketa Anderson. Read more: usw.to/5eb

Guest Host Diego Luna on Trump’s immigration policies and the importance of immigrants in the United States…

Today, I stood alongside Granite City @steelworkers.bsky.social to demand a seat at the table. This community has been sidelined for too long, and President Trump’s Nippon steel deal must include the investments Granite City needs to keep its proud steel legacy alive.

Working people — no matter their race, language, or immigration status — are the ones keeping this country alive. As @steelworkers.bsky.social District 13 leader Jose Loya said in #Amarillo: This country belongs to US. #UnionStrong

Join us in welcoming the nearly 250 workers at Ahlstrom’s Windsor Locks, Conn., facilities who voted to join our union. Their campaign grew from the converter to include the mill, water treatment facility, and power house. Read more: usw.org/news/ahlstro...

As we fight to hold Nippon to its commitments, we’ll use the most powerful tool workers have against global corporations: collective bargaining. We’re not backing down on job security, pensions, retiree health care & other hard-earned benefits. Read more: usw.org/press-releas...

A win for workers at Ahlstrom's Windsor Locks facilities & a victory for working families. Joining the @steelworkers.bsky.social recognizes these employees' invaluable hard work & allows for better pay, safer working conditions, & improved benefits.
