Today we honor Indigenous Peoples Day — celebrating the history, culture, and strength of Indigenous peoples.

As more communities move away from marking Columbus Day in favor of recognizing the Indigenous voices that have too often been overlooked, we as union members, have an opportunity to once again stand for justice and solidarity in our communities. This includes lifting up Indigenous communities and their vital place in our shared history.

Today, we remember the nearly 3,000 lives lost on September 11, 2001, and honor the bravery of the first responders, workers, and everyday people who ran toward danger to save others. We will never forget their sacrifice. 🇺🇸

Happy Labor Day! 💙💛

Happy Labor Day, union family! ✊

Today we honor the generations of working people who fought—and continue to fight—for safer jobs, fair wages, and dignity on the job. Our union knows that every right we have was won by workers standing together.

Solidarity is our strength, and it’s how we’ll keep building a better future for all. 💛

Today, we commemorate Juneteenth — a powerful reminder of the ongoing fight for freedom, justice, and equality.

While June 19, 1865, marked the end of slavery in the U.S., the struggle for racial and economic justice continues. We honor this day by standing in solidarity with all workers in the fight for dignity, equity, and liberation. ✊🏿✊🏾✊

Being a dad is one of the most important jobs out there! Happy Father’s Day to all of the USW dads, grandfathers and father figures. 💙👑

Today, we honor all those who gave their lives serving our country. 🇺🇸

Today, we’re celebrating all the incredible Mothers of Steel. 💪

On Workers’ Memorial Day, we honor those lost to unsafe working conditions—and we fight for the living by demanding safe jobs for all. 385 workers are killed on the job per day, and 3.2 million per year suffer injury and illness because of dangerous working conditions that are preventable.
