With a union, you'll have a voice to create a better workplace for you and your coworkers.
We are the United Steelworkers, North America’s largest industrial union.
We proudly represent 1.2 million members and retirees in the United States, Canada and the Caribbean, who work in nearly every industry there is.
We slurry and smelt aluminum. We mine for iron ore and create cement. We make glass and metals of many kinds. We produce paper and paper products. And we craft energy-saving wind turbines that help save our Earth.
We’re nurses and nurses’ aides. We make Harley Davidson motorcycles and Carrier air conditioners. We’re rubber workers who make your tires; metal workers who make the materials that go into buildings, homes, automobiles, planes and roads.
We serve you at banks and teach at universities. You’ll find us in oil refineries and grocery stores. At utility companies and in chemical plants. We work in the public sector and in the forests. We drive taxi cabs and work in airports. We’re security guards and electricians. We’re miners and pharmaceutical workers. We work in all these places and so many more.
We are leaders in our communities, in our work places, in our governments and more. We have a presence in the United Kingdom, Ireland, England, Scotland, Mexico and many other places around the world.
We believe in better. We stand up and fight back for better. We work for working families around the world.
