About United Workers of America
Established in 2002, United Workers of America originally started with Local 621. Over the years other locals have affiliated with the United Workers of America to form a National Union which represents a number of industries. The teamwork between the locals is what sets UWA apart from other National Unions. United Workers of America will continue to be a Union in which smaller Local Unions can band together to build strength and power. They will continue to have autonomy over their own affairs with the help of National Officers whose experience and guidance will lead to a better standard of living for all members.
