Active retirement takes on a whole new meaning through SOAR, the Steelworkers Organization of Active Retirees. SOAR is a voice for USW retirees and their families and keeps retirees connected with the union.
SOAR was established in 1985 to organically link the USW’s active members with those in retirement so that both can work on common problems. SOAR has proved to be a true partner of our active membership in the pursuit of economic security.
Becoming a member of a SOAR Chapter is the best way to stay involved when you retire. SOAR Chapter membership provides retirees and their spouses with a vehicle for continued social interaction with their friends and co-workers.
SOAR announces a new membership benefit offered through an affinity agreement with the Dignity Memorial network. It is available to you and members of your family at no cost and with no need to register.
