Wishing our brothers Luis and Robert a happy retirement! ...
We have two new retirees at USW Local 7226 out of Calgary, Alberta, with a unique story. Luis Raposo and Robert Declute are retiring from Tenaris Prudential Steel after 34 years. Where it gets interesting, they both hired in on the same day, same shift and same department. They are retiring on the same day, same time and same shift. Hit the LIKE to wish these two brothers the best in their new journeys. Thank you for your dedication! If you¹re a Steelworker retiree who wants to stay active in your union, check out our SOAR program at www.usw.org/soar. #USWWorks
