Fighting for better jobs, communities and a brighter future.
Tens of millions of Americans rely on the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health to certify safety equipment, conduct research and make recommendations that keep them safe on the job. But the current administration wants to gut the agency, putting lives at risk.

As revelations of Jeffrey Epstein’s crimes stirred revulsion among Americans, he came to symbolize something more—a broader system that’s rigged for the rich & designed to exploit everyone else. Unions serve as counterweight to his class of billionaires & other bullies.

We applaud and thank the bipartisan coalition in the U.S. House that stood with America’s workers today and passed the Protect America’s Workforce Act.

Why do we unionize? Because it's only in stories that grumpy misers realize that hoarding wealth hurts everyone – including themselves – and agree to pay their workers more. 🎄🎁

Our bill to reverse President Trump’s union-busting executive order is getting a vote in Congress!

The top 10 U.S. billionaires added hundreds of billions to their wealth this year. Meanwhile, over 40% of Americans — including 50% kids — are low-income. We deserve leaders and policymakers who have everyone's best interests in mind.

Corning workers in North Carolina & Michigan are exercising their constitutional right to unionize with @steelworkers.bsky.social for better wages, benefits & working conditions. 

Corning must stop its illegal union busting & intimidation.

I stand in solidarity with these brave workers.

The U.S. spends billions on DFC projects abroad — but there’s no requirement to use American-made products. USW and allies are pushing to add domestic content, labor and environmental standards so U.S. workers benefit.

The current administration promised to lower prices – instead, they are soaring. Coffee is up 19%, beef is up 15%, and bananas are up 7%. The average household spending has increased by $700 per month.

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.

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. 👊
