Any Steelworker local union can join the Family and Community Education Fund. By joining, a local union gets access for its members to great programs, has the right to apply for project funding, and helps build the collective strength of our union.
Local unions who belong to the Fund contribute one percent of dues already collected. In other words, there is no extra cost to local members.
To join, pass a motion at a local membership meeting authorizing the local to become a contributing member of the USW Family and Community Education Fund and authorizing the one-percent contribution of existing dues. Then fill out the Check-Off Authorization Form and mail it to the USW Canadian National Office.
For more information, please contact the Fund Co-ordinator at fcef@usw.ca
