Active retirement takes on a whole new meaning through SOAR, the Steelworkers Organization of Active Retirees. SOAR is a voice for USW retirees and their families and keeps retirees connected with the union.
About SOAR »
Retirement from the United Steelworkers does not mean an end to union involvement. In fact, it could actually be a whole new beginning. A new beginning that will make your life in retirement the special time that you deserve.
