🐦 AUG 26 at 11AM - United Electrical, Radio, Machine Workers of America Convention - Pittsburgh

[Donkees]

Senator Bernie Sanders will be speaking to the UE Convention on Monday, August 26 at 11am, at the Wyndham Grand Hotel in downtown Pittsburgh. The UE convention is not open to the public, and we will be conducting business prior to the Senator's speech, so press will need to get credentials to cover the speech. Please visit the UE Pressroom for information about how to apply for credentials.

This year's convention theme is "The Union for Everyone!” which reflects the changes from UE’s beginnings over 83 years ago, when the membership came solely from the electrical, radio and the machine tool industries. Today our membership is very diverse including rail crew drivers, school and college/university employees, co-op workers, hospital employees, service contract workers to name but a few, in addition to the manufacturing workers who have been the backbone of UE for so many years. We have learned that no matter what sector you hail from, UE’s long and vibrant history of aggressive struggle lives on. UE has always been, and will continue to be, a force for worker democracy and solidarity for everyone.
