Urging Increased Activism, Steelworkers' Gerard Exhorts Convention Delegates to 'Become Missionaries of a Better Tomorrow' NEWS from USWA
Citing a series of successes from the revitalization of the steel industry to passage of a Canadian law that makes corporate management criminally responsible for workers' safety on the job, United Steelworkers of America (USWA) President Leo W. Gerard told delegates to the union's 32nd Constitutional Convention that globalization will undermine these achievements unless union activists reach out to their members and communities to build a broad movement for social change.
'We can't survive as an island of decent wages and benefits in a sea of misery,' Gerard told some 2,500 USWA delegates from the U.S. and Canada in his keynote address, because globalization is 'eating manufacturing alive.'------------------------------------------- posted 12:37 PM :: reference link ::
