Fight
Back America, the
Steelworkers' Associate Member Program's organizing campaign,
builds on the Union’s long, proud history of fighting
for workers and progressive causes both on the job and in
the political arena. We believe in fighting for these
causes because we know a better world is only possible if
we act now for change.
