Trading Lies
District 7 Illinois Lobby Day
Steelworkers from all over IL converged on the Capitol in Springfield to talk face-to-face with our State Reps. and Senators. We gathered on the front steps of the Capitol to show the "strength in numbers" that we brought to bear.
Our SOAR Chapter 7-34-2 was well represented. Plenty of other District 7 SOAR members attended too.
This is the crew that rode the bus from the Labor Temple to Springfield. If you don't see your face - you should go with us next time. We have a really good time doing this.
See How Much FUN We Have?
District 7 Christmas party - Gary Gaines is joined by former District 31 Director (before USW restructured) Ed Sadlowski and past candidate for International President.
Our Past Leaders - Jack Greer, Dee and Russ Robinson. Thanks for all you did!
