Amendment Introduced for SB 1260 to Protect USW Represented Jobs!
Due to your incredible activism over the past 24 hours, an amendment to SB 1260 was introduced by Majority Leader Matthew Bradford. Amendment A04570 would protect industrial workers by allowing them and future generations to complete work with their current qualifications.
As a reminder, SB 1260, which is currently under consideration in the Pennsylvania House of Representatives, is being presented as an electrical licensing bill aimed primarily at the construction industry. However, without being amended, the bill would place USW members in the position of no longer being permitted to perform work they have performed safely and competently for years.
Now is the time to keep up the pressure and make your voice heard again – tell your State Representative to support amendment A04570 to SB 1260.

Pennsylvania Steelworkers - You Did It!
Thanks to your incredible and quick activism, Amendment A04570 to SB 1260 passed the Pennsylvania House unanimously! That’s right. Every single member of the House voted our way.
Over the past several days, USW members across Pennsylvania stepped up in a big way. You made calls. You sent emails. You made sure your State Representatives understood that, without changes, SB 1260 could have prevented Steelworkers from performing work they have safely and competently done for generations.
They heard you.
Because you raised your voices, Majority Leader Matthew Bradford introduced Amendment A04570 to protect industrial workers and ensure that our members, and future generations of workers, can continue performing this work with their current qualifications.
And when that amendment came up for a vote, it passed unanimously.
That is what Rapid Response is all about.
When something happening in Harrisburg threatens our jobs, our contracts or our workplaces, we don't sit on the sidelines. We organize. We act. And we fight together.
This victory belongs to every Steelworker who took a few minutes to make a call or send an email. You showed once again what can happen when working people speak with one strong, united voice.
Thank you for answering the call. Thank you for standing up for one another. And thank you for proving that Steelworker activism makes a difference.
