The USW is politically engaged, because laws and politics have a big impact on our workplaces and our communities, and together we can be a force for positive change.
Steelworkers are at the forefront of important campaigns affecting all working people, from improved pension security and protecting public health care, to demanding real benefits from foreign takeovers and greater corporate social responsibility.
“The events leading up to the death of a worker at the Cargill meat processing plant are inexcusable and must be investigated through a criminal lens.” Stephen Hunt

The USW in District 3 stands in solidarity with farmers and their families in India who are protesting new laws that open the door for large retailers to take over small farms, harming the lives of millions of farmers.
“Our governments are failing to protect Canadian jobs by not having a Canadian-made procurement strategy for public infrastructure projects.”
