USW Health Care Workers in Action
Healthcare members organize and strategize in Pittsburgh
Health care workers joined fellow Steelworker members last week in Pittsburgh for the first ever USW Organizing Conference. The event energized activists and reinforced that it is the responsibility of all members to grow the union through organizing.
At the conference, members had in-depth training in one of three areas: internal organizing, external organizing, and advanced organizing. Through these hands-on trainings, members learned and practiced how to develop action plans so that they could return to their locals with a strategy that could be implemented immediately.

Safe Jobs Now campaign still going strong
USW members across the country are continuing to sign postcards for the union's #SafeJobsNow campaign calling for critical workplace violence legislation.
Local 2003's new Rapid Response Coordinator Keith Thompson has collected nearly 200 postcards himself as part of his very first campaign with the union. His local is an amalgamated local with several worksites spread out across Northwest Indiana.
Thompson joins the many workers across the country who are raising their voices about health and safety on the job. Join the hustle and contact your local Rapid Response coordinator to get cards for your workplace and have your voice heard today.
