THE UNITED STEELWORKERS— A UNION MEDLEY OF MERGERS & AFFILIATIONS
The Steelworkers' union claims to represent a diverse membership employed in a large variety of industries and, while that may be the case, it belies the real reason the union has entered those diverse industries.
The fact is, the Steelworkers' union has a history of having smaller and often weaker unions merge into the Pittsburgh-based union.
