Leslie is joined by Luis Mendoza, International Vice President of the United Steelworkers (USW). As International Vice President, Mendoza has responsibility for all facets of the USW paper sector, including bargaining, safety, trade, legislative issues, global solidarity and organizing initiatives.

Leslie and Luis talk about building unity in the paper industry and beyond.

Of the many industries where USW members work, one of the biggest is the paper sector, representing approximately 90,000 workers.

Since the onset of the pandemic, these workers have made groundbreaking advances in promoting workplace health and safety, advocating for economic security, and building unity through eliminating dangerously divisive two-tiered systems.

The website for the United Steelworkers is www.USW.org and their handle on X and Instagram is @steelworkers.
