Abstract

Program Summary/Abstract (HWWTP) The Steelworkers Charitable and Educational Organization (SCEO), the non-profit (501c3) arm of the United Steelworkers (USW), is applying for HWWTP funds to support a training partnership linking two of the largest U.S.-based industrial unions with rapidly expanding immigrant worker centers. The Tony Mazzocchi Center (TMC), the SCEO's training entity, brings together the USW, the Communications Workers of America (CWA), the Labor Institute (LI), the National Day Labor Organizing Network (NDLON) and Make the Road New York (MRNY). This proposed partnership will conduct 2,745 courses and reach 55,950 workers, managers and community residents with 633,700 hours of HWWTP training over the five-year grant period.
