We work in nearly every sector of the economy, and together, we have power: power to negotiate strong contracts, power to keep our workplaces safe, and the power to provide a good life for ourselves and our families. Through our solidarity, we’re building better workplaces and stronger communities. ✊ | United Steelworkers

On this day in labor history, we honor the memory of Karen Silkwood, a whistleblower and health and safety advocate who died in a suspicious car accident. Karen, a chemical technician, fought to expose her employer for deliberately misleading workers and exposing them to harmful substances. The battle ended in Karen’s death – one that few people see as accidental. We recently covered her story on our Solidarity Works podcast.
