"Workers are hoping that the President will focus his State of the Union address and Administration efforts in coming days on keeping the promises made during the election. More than a year later, workers are still waiting for comprehensive action on trade and infrastructure and the corresponding job benefits, including higher wages.    

"On trade, it is time to get China and other countries that do not play by the rules to stop stealing American jobs in steel, aluminum and other industries. A renegotiated NAFTA agreement championing workers' rights and stopping the outsourcing of jobs must be a top priority.

"It is time to put workers' interests at the top of the nation's agenda."

The USW represents 850,000 workers in North America employed in many industries that include metals, rubber, chemicals, paper, oil refining and the service and public sectors. For more information: www.usw.org.
