Letter from Member
Dear Sue, I wanted to send a brief note to you, as our president of USW Local 3657, to thank you and members of the union for all the support, assistance and love shown to me and my family after a house fire caused a lot of disruption to our lives. Union people were the first in touch with us after the fire, and we will never forget it. We're hoping to be able to get back in our house in a few months after repairs. Injuries are healing, and things that didn't make it through the fire seem so much less important than friends, family and fellow workers in the labor movement. The main thing I want to pass along - aside from encouraging everyone to have lots of fire extinguishers around - is that I feel more strongly than ever that the people associated with the United Steelworkers are among the finest, most caring people in the world. I hope I can be there for others if or when they hit a rough spot on the road of life.
Thank you. Howard Scott, Strategic Campaigns Dept.
