Our Mission

Believing that all persons have a natural right to the full enjoyment of the wealth created by their labor, and believing that such cannot be fully realized except through the united, free, and democratic organization of working men and women, we do hereby unite ourselves into a Local Union to be known as United SteelWorkers International Union, Local 13-447 which shall operate as a labor, benevolent, and fraternal organization.

Our Objectives

It shall be the object of this Union to establish and maintain collective bargaining for the benefit of the workers within its jurisdiction and to conduct a never-ceasing effort to secure just compensation for the workers, reasonable hours of toil, and working conditions conducive to safety, good health and full enjoyment of life.
