As a member of the International United Steelworkers in District 10, We strive to protect workers' rights and benefits, and maintain a safe working environment for all of its represented members.
The USW Local Union #1537 began in 1937 with the Steelworkers Organization Committee (SWOC) as a local union comprised of active and retired members who worked for a single company - Latrobe Steel Company.
Today, we are an amalgamated and much stronger Local Union comprised of different units whose members are employed with different companies, some of which produce a product quite different than steel.

This is Our Union, an organization fighting to improve our wages, benefits and working conditions; to ensure justice and dignity on the job; and to create a social movement to better the lives of all working people. Today, the purpose and need for workers to belong to a Union is greater than ever before. The wages and benefits we enjoy today did not come without a price.
