Local 3303

UAW Local 3303 proudly represents the thousands of union men and women – past and present – who, through their integrity, ingenuity, sacrifices and pride in their accomplishments have elevated AK Steel (formerly Armco) to a world-class, competitive specialty steel maker. As of 2010, there are 1,226 active hourly union members, 1,429 retirees and 664 surviving spouses. 

The local celebrated its 75th anniversary in 2008 – marking a major milestone in the history of this local union. On Dec. 1, 1933, the Armco Employee representatives joined together and chartered the Butler Armco Independent Union.  Facing the challenges of those days, these dedicated union leaders prevailed in negotiating the first collective bargaining agreement. In 2003, many contracts later, the membership voted to join the UAW.
