– Thousands of Steelworkers and supporters joined the Solidarity In Steel Rally in downtown Pittsburgh on Tuesday 9/1 showing their unity and solidarity with the locked out steelworkers at ATI plants and those working without contracts at ArcelorMittal and U.S. Steel.

United Steelworkers International Vice President Tom Conway urged workers to continue showing their strength and resolve for fair contracts. USW District 10 Director Bob McAuliffe said Steelworkers want fair contracts that protect working families and support their communities. Members of several area labor councils including Allegheny, Beaver/Lawrence, Greater Westmoreland and Johnstown/Somerset participated in the rally, as did President Bloomingdale and Secretary-Treasurer Snyder in a display of solidarity across the entire labor movement for fair contracts now for Steelworkers.
