USWA, PACE FORMALLY MERGE ILCA Online
The combined union has more than 850,000 active members in over 8,000 bargaining units in the United States, Canada and the Caribbean, USWA and PACE said in a statement. AFL-CIO per capita dues payment figures gave USWA 337,777 members in 2004, the most recent data available. PACE had 234,335 and UAW had 615,206.
The combined union, to be called the United Steel Workers for short, is dominant in paper, forestry products, steel, aluminum, tire and rubber, mining, glass, chemicals, petroleum and several other industries, they told a joint press conference.
"We're now the dominant private-sector union in 17 states. That'll change the dynamics at the AFL-CIO," Gerard said.------------------------------------------- posted 11:44 AM :: reference link ::
