Ways Steelworkers can get active in the Ontario election

Materials

  • Order USW election materials – placards, flyers and stickers – and distribute them to members and post them in your workplace.
  • Order our Steelworkers Vote hats and T-shirts – see the order form for pricing

Spread the word

  • Include information on your local ONDP candidate and USW election issues in your newsletters and emails, and on your website, Facebook and social media. #USWVotes
  • Invite USW Member Mobilizer Jordan Rego to make a presentation on the election at your next local or area council meeting: jordanrego@gmail.com 

Connect with your local Ontario NDP

  • Invite your local Ontario NDP candidates to any USW in-person or virtual meetings, or to greet members outside your workplace, following local COVID-19 safety protocols.
  • While unions can’t donate directly to political parties in Ontario, we encourage our members to volunteer and make individual donations.

Support for your USW phone bank

  • Set up a phone bank for members to call other members about the election.
  • Request USW phone lists for ridings in your area. 
  • Talk about how your local Ontario NDP candidate is on the side of workers.
  • Encourage early voting.
  • Contact the USW for more information and support with scripts and election phoning rules: vote@usw.ca.

Volunteer for local campaigns

  • Recruit USW volunteers for local Ontario NDP campaigns. Campaigns need help phoning, canvassing, putting up signs and more.
