Car Signs for Pick Up

Good morning USW Sisters & Brothers,

Just a quick reminder that negotiations start Tuesday 11FEB, and as we move into this critical time, it’s important that we stand strong and show our unity.

The car signs (see attachment) are available for pickup in the conference room at the Union Office. We have enough for every member to get one, so Shop Stewards, please start picking them up and helping distribute them for your areas to the people you represent.

This is a simple but powerful way to demonstrate our solidarity and strength as negotiations begin.

A visible, united front sends a clear message: we are engaged, we are united, and we are standing together. Let’s do our part to keep the momentum going.

Thanks for your support and commitment. Let’s show up and show out!

In solidarity,

USW Civil and Human Rights Scholarship

The United Steelworkers Civil and Human Rights Scholarship Fund is a vital resource that directly supports the children of our members by providing financial assistance for their education. Higher education costs continue to rise, creating significant financial barriers for many families. This scholarship helps defray that burden. By investing in the education of our members’ children, we are not only strengthening their future but also reinforcing the values of equality, opportunity, and solidarity that define our union. A scholarship will help the student focus on their studies, ultimately setting them up for success and financial stability in the long run.

2025 Deadline is 05 May 2025 12:00 p.m.

Once again, we had the incredible opportunity to bring joy and smiles to the faces of underprivileged children through our annual Christmas party!

Monday Member Spotlight

This week spotlight focuses on Carleigh Greco
I started at Merck in July 2020 in B62 Varicella. I was on 3rd shift there for 4 years before recently switching over to B60. I’ve mainly been in buffer so far, but I’m looking forward to learning more.
What I love the most about being in our union is the benefits and job security. I am the sole provider for my family, and knowing my job is protected brings me peace of mind. My wife and I have no trouble getting medical care with our plan, and having both a pension and a 401k is a blessing.
Outside of work, I love spending time with my wife and dog. We watch an almost shameful amount of TV (especially Eagles games) and hang out in the yard while my dog has the zoomies. On my own, I am currently learning Italian and how to play guitar. I love sitcoms, pop punk music, video games, Disney, tattoos, and podcasts. Don’t get me started because I will talk for hours.

Happy thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving to all our union members! We’re grateful for your hard work, dedication, and solidarity. Wishing you and your loved ones a joyful and healthy holiday filled with warmth, happiness, and great food. 🍂🦃 Together, we’re stronger!
In Solidarity,
Local 10-00086
