This Saturday and Sunday please come out and join our USW sisters and brothers to get out the vote for candidates that will stand for working people.  We’ll be walking door to door in the Pittsburgh area distributing door hangers and talking to voters about the issues that matter to them.

Join us at 5 Gateway Center on Saturday from 10-2 and Sunday from 10-3 to help us get out the vote.

There will be a whole lot of activity going around the building and several different efforts being dispached out of our offices.  We encourage you to join USW members for a Steelworkers block walk by coming up to the Hot Idle ‘War Room’ on the second floor to get your packet to make sure you’re part of the Steelworkers’ get out the vote effort!  If it’s more convenient you can also pick up your packets on Friday so you can get straight out to the doors on Saturday or Sunday morning.
