– President Bloomingdale and Secretary-Treasurer Snyder, on behalf of over 800,000 union workers in Pennsylvania, extend their congratulations to the workers at RailServe Inc. in Eddystone, Pennsylvania who organized their union this week with the United Steelworkers, Local 10-1.

Secretary-Treasurer Snyder, a former union organizer for the USW, fired up the crowd at a pre-election meeting in the union hall. He said, “Collective bargaining is how we create good jobs, improve our lives and create a brighter future for our children and all workers.”  Jim Savage, President, of USW Local 10-1 described the victory as “history making” and a good first step for the Local’s anticipated organizing efforts in the near future. President Bloomingdale thanked the workers on their successful campaign and in joining thousands of other workers across Pennsylvania who are organizing unions as their pathway to the middle class.

The Pennsylvania AFL-CIO Rally Vehicle provided staging and visual support outside the plant gate. President Savage, who is also a Pennsylvania AFL-CIO Vice President, also recognized the important work and dedication of the leader inside the facility for his work in heading up the effort.  He also expresses his thanks to the State Fed for all of their support. A good way to start off the Labor Day celebration.
