Leslie is joined by Director of District 4 for the United Steelworkers (USW), Dave Wasiura.
The two have an in-depth discussion detailing how Unions help communities.
This includes:
- Nurses in New Jersey who were on an unfair labor practice strike for nearly five months last year
- Energy workers in Puerto Rico, where the issue of their electric grid is quite literally life and death
- Military veterans around the United States, including where the USW drafted legislation requiring employers to post official notices of the health, social and other services available to support veterans as they build new lives on the home front
Dave Wasiura represents members across the states of Connecticut, Delaware, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Rhode Island, Vermont, and the territory of Puerto Rico.
Dave began his career as a fourth-generation metalworker in Buffalo, N.Y., when he followed in his father’s footsteps and took a job at the American Brass facility. Since then, he’s led political and organizing efforts in addition to bargaining contracts across a wide variety of industries.
The website for the USW is www.USW.org.
Their handle on X, Instagram and Facebook is @steelworkers.
