  • In Steel Local 12-369: A woman, and black, it’s tough to be local president

    Stephanie Green is a woman and one of the few African-Americans in the 1,200-member Steelworkers Local 12-369, mostly white, in the state of Washington. As soon as she was elected local president in November 2005, the executive board began to give her a hard time. They refused to allow her to take office, but she succeeded in getting installed in April 2006 after a successful appeal to the international and the DOL. Still, it's been a hard time ever since.
