Rapid Response is the network set up by the United Steelworkers of America in 1996 in response to the attacks by the right wing in Congress.
Rapid Response is a network that recruits at least 4% of the membership of a local union to be Team members and then trains them on how to educate their co-workers. It then allows our members an opportunity to make their voice heard through various avenues including a toll free phone call, e-mail or a personal letter to a legislator.
The communication with local unions and retirees is handled by e-mail and faxes to a local coordinator, who then disperses copies to the Team members. Since Rapid Response is an educational tool, not all communications ask for a response. Some communications designated as InfoAlerts simply share some key information with our members. If an action is being undertaken, the communication will be entitled an Action Call.
Watch this page for important alerts.
