IMPORTANT LOCAL 8599 INFORMATION

Dear Valued Member of the United Steelworkers Local 8599 Family,

I would like to address a mailer that you may have received from a political organization, the Freedom Foundation, under a threatening title “Legal Notice.” The Freedom Foundation is a crooked company funded by big businesses that wants you to stop supporting the USW in order to further their own political goals. This is a direct attack on all of us. You are your Union, and your Union needs your support!

May Newsflash!

Greetings USW Local 8599 Family,

 May 1st was International Workers’ Day, a day commemorating the historic struggles and gains made by workers and the labor movement. Education Code 51009 deems the month of May as Labor History Month,  public schools and are encouraged to commemorate this month and bring awareness of the Labor Movement in California and the United States to our students.

Doesn’t it seem that some days there are more struggles than gains?
