As you may know, our Local 3657 by-laws have not been updated since January 2007, despite years of incremental progress that began with the formation of a by-laws committee in 2012.

In early summer 2017, the committee presented its suggestions to the local membership. Based on feedback, it became obvious that the committee needed to hear more voices and solicit more input before the Local could make meaningful changes.

The by-laws committee was refashioned at the beginning of the calendar year. The first task the newly reconstituted committee undertook was ensuring that our local by-laws reflected the past 10 years’ worth of changes to the standard by-laws. You can view that document by clicking here.

The committee now needs your feedback. Please click here to complete our survey by 5:00 p.m. on Dec. 4.

All dues-paying members of Local 3657 are invited to the local’s annual holiday celebration on December 5 from noon to 2 p.m. in the lobby conference room of the international headquarters. Please e-mail Barb Pugliese (bpugliese@usw.org) if you plan to attend the party.

Please welcome our newest USW Local 3657 sister Lori Biedzinski, who works as a clerical in our legal department on the 8th floor of the International Headquarters. If you see Lori around the building, be sure to say hello!
