Today, we pause to honor the service members and their families who made the ultimate sacrifice. Happy Memorial Day, USW family. 🇺🇸

Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms and mother figures in our USW family. 💗

The care, strength, and resilience of a union mom is a force to be reckoned with. 👊

It’s with great sadness that our union announces the passing of former USW International President Leo W. Gerard. A fierce fighter and a friend to many, Leo worked tirelessly to build solidarity and advance workers’ interests.

We’re proud to welcome 500 members of the Independent Steelworkers Alliance from Liberty Steel’s wire mill in Bartonville, Ill., into the USW family following their vote to join our union. Together, our voices are stronger ✊.

STEWART: “The worse it is, the folksier they get.”

After Colbert pantsed @RepTimBurchett’s Trump-Epstein coverup hypocrisy like @RepFaison at a high school hoops game, now it’s Jon Stewart’s turn to give Burchett a national TV wedgie.

But “protect the kids”, right guys?

On this day in labor history, JFK signed the Equal Pay Act into law, a key part of his New Frontier Program. It was a win for working people, but the fight for fair wages, regardless of gender, continues. Fair pay is a right we will continue to fight for ✊.

What’s included in H.R. 1—the so-called “Big Beautiful Bill”? Spoiler: It’s bad news for working people. Join USW Legislative Director Roy Houseman as he walks the streets of D.C. and breaks down what this bill really means: devastating cuts to programs working families rely on.

The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is experiencing a major shift as DOGE closes more than a dozen offices. The agency is responsible for administering over 245 million acres of public lands. We shone a light on BLM in Lakewood, Co., this weekend to show our support.

“When women are empowered to lead, they become better role models for us and inspire others to get involved,” said Cindy Odden, Local 904L’s first female president (2021–2024). With 28 years in the union, she’s led by example. Read more about her story: https://t.co/CB2Ef7Sv24

Road trip! The USW Bat Light is going cross country to spotlight the vital services federal workers provide – and the threats the administration’s cuts pose to all Americans. Make sure to follow us to see where we end up!

[United Steelworkers Union @steelworkers]

Lobbying our elected officials is a right we can’t take for granted. USW activists nationwide are meeting with legislators to fight for workers and their families. Recently, District 7 Women of Steel showed up strong in Madison, advocating for UI, workers’ comp, and more.

[AFL-CIO ✊ @AFLCIO]

Stripping collective bargaining and union rights from workers across the federal government is the very definition of union busting — and a blatant attempt to silence us.

We will fight this outrageous attack on our members with every fiber of our collective being.

HAPPENING NOW: Labor leaders, workers, and allies are reintroducing the PRO Act.

Up on Capitol Hill: @RepLindaSanchez looks on as @steelworkers legislative director Roy Houseman addresses the media. Sanchez wants Congress to close the de minimis loophole, which allows parcels worth less than $800 to be imported from China virtually duty-free.
