Did you notice something extra on your latest paystub? 💸
The 4% wage increase that just went into effect across the plant floor didn’t happen by chance, and it wasn’t a corporate gift. It was entirely negotiated and won through the collective strength of USW Local 13-2001.
While you are already benefiting from the union's hard work, true long-term security requires everyone to pitch in.
I will be heading back to the negotiating table to fight for our next round of raises, healthcare benefits, and safety protections. But to get you the absolute best deal possible, I need the strongest hand behind me. In Texas, corporate management watches our membership numbers closely.
If you want to ensure your wages keep pace with inflation and your job stays protected, don't sit on the sidelines.
👉 Stop letting others carry the weight. Stand with us, protect your paycheck, and join USW Local 13-2001 today.
In Solidarity,
Jesse Green President, USW Local 13-2001
