Strike Record
Since 2014, the Steelworkers union has been involved in 75 work stoppages, which put more than 29,000 of their members out of work, according to Bloomberg BNA.
What's at Risk?
When union members are put on the picket line by the Steelworkers union they find out first hand just what they’re risking during an economic strike.
Paychecks from the company stop.
Economic strikers don't qualify for unemployment in many states.
Strikers may have to pay the entire premium for any medical insurance policies.
And in some cases, permanent replacements are hired to take the place of striking workers. While the striker does go on a preferential recall list, the replacement is under no obligation to give up the job when the strike is over.
