Kelly Cooper Utility Workers is a prominent organization based in West Union, OH, dedicated to representing and advocating for the rights and welfare of utility workers across America. With a history dating back to 1945, the Utility Workers Union of America (UWUA), AFL-CIO, has a membership of 45,000 active professionals employed in various utility sectors, including electric, gas, water, and related service industries. Led by National President James Slevin, the union's executive officers and regional board members work tirelessly to negotiate strong contracts, shape national and local policies, ensure workplace safety, and hold employers and policymakers accountable.
Committed to collective action and member participation, UWUA operates as a democratic union, with officers elected every four years during the regular National Convention. The executive board, consisting of the president, executive vice president, vice president, secretary-treasurer, and 20 elected board members, plays a crucial role in executing the union's directives and formulating policies that benefit the union's members. Supported by a dedicated national staff, UWUA bargains for robust contracts, provides education and training to its members, and offers expert legal advice. With a strong focus on policy advocacy, organizing new members, and leading effective campaigns, UWUA strives to fight for the rights and well-being of utility workers.
