Please keep one of our brothers and his family in your thoughts and prayers during this incredibly difficult time. His son-in-law, Officer Newman with the Fort Smith Police Department, was seriously injured in the line of duty.

A fundraiser softball tournament is being organized to help support Officer Newman and his family as they face the road ahead. If you can, please share this post and help spread the word. Every prayer, share, and act of support means a lot right now.

Let’s come together and show what brotherhood and community are all about. 💙🙏

Today we honor Tracey McKamie for her years of dedication to USW 9452.

Through the long days and tough fights, she showed up — for the job, for the union, and for all of us. That kind of loyalty doesn’t go unnoticed… and it doesn’t get forgotten.

Tracey, you didn’t just do the work — you made a difference.

Thank you for everything. ✊

After decades of service, today marks the retirement of Glendale Gillett — one of the original founding members of USW Local 9452.

Long before the protections, benefits, and contract language we have today, there were men willing to stand up and organize so workers would have a voice. Glendale was one of those men. As one of the OGs who helped build Local 9452, he helped lay the foundation that generations of members still stand on today.

Everything this local has accomplished — fair representation, stronger contracts, and solidarity on the job — traces back to the courage of the men and women who started it. Glendale was there at the beginning, helping make sure working people were treated with the respect they deserve.

You don’t replace guys like that. You honor them.

Thank you Glendale for the years of dedication to your brothers and sisters and for helping build USW 9452 into what it is today.

Enjoy retirement — you earned it.

✊ Solidarity forever.
