Wednesday, January 15th is our USW T-SHIRT Pickup Day. Members of the Organizing Committee will be in the building 38 cafeteria from 7:00am to 5:30pm to distribute shirts. Please refer to the attached flyer for additional details.

As we prepare for the 2025 contract negotiations, these shirts will serve as a key symbol of solidarity during calls to action, demonstrating our unity and support for the negotiating committee. Solidarity, engagement, and activism are the cornerstones of a successful contract negotiation. Let’s make it a priority to pick up your shirt on the 15th and continue standing together to show the strength of our union.

Solidarity In Action

Solidarity in Action: Wear Your “1701” Every Wednesday!

As we enter negotiations for a pivotal contract, we are calling on every member to stand together in unity. Starting now, we will wear our “1701” shirts every Wednesday until negotiations are complete and we secure the contract we rightfully deserve.

This is more than just a show of support—it is a powerful demonstration of our solidarity, strength, and unwavering commitment to one another. When we stand together, we send a clear and undeniable message to the company: we are united, we are strong, and we will not settle for less than what we deserve.

A sea of yellow shirts is impossible to ignore. It reminds management that we are not just individuals—we are a force, a team, a union that stands firm at all times.

If you don’t have a “1701” shirt, don’t worry—reach out to me or the union office, and we will make sure you get one. Your voice matters, your presence matters, and together, we make a difference.

Let’s show them our strength. Let’s stand together. Wear your 1701 every Wednesday—until we win!

On site retirement seminar with Haddon Planning
2025-02-19 07:30 - 17:30 | Building 38 Auditorium, pennsylvania
The Finance Committee is having Haddon Planning hold a retirement seminar on Wednesday February 19th in building 38 assembly room (where we voted for union elections) for anyone who is interested. Those who are thinking of retiring in the near future, should attend. These seminars are very informative, and we highly suggest you take the time to listen and learn strategies in addition to how to set goals for your financial future. Warren Buffett once said, “Predicting rain doesn’t count; building arks does.” Investing is a process that involves challenges and opportunities. The finance committee believes luck is when preparation meets opportunity, so we want our members to be prepared when opportunity arises. There will be 3 seminars for all 3 shifts scheduled at the following times:
Third shift 730 am
First shift 1200 pm
Second shift 430 pm
