Roxeanne Brown Set To Become New President of United Steelworkers Union
A historic new slate of officers will take over leadership of the United Steelworkers (USW) in March following the union’s regular four-year nomination and election process that took place this fall.
Roxanne Brown, currently serving as USW international vice president at large, will be sworn in March 1, 2026, as the union’s next international president. Brown replaces David McCall, who did not seek reelection, having served as USW international president since September 2023.
“Roxanne has devoted her life’s work to advancing the interests of working families, fighting for fair wages, affordable health care, dignified retirements and strong labor rights,” said McCall. “I can think of no one better qualified to lead our union as we navigate this unprecedented era of largely unchecked corporate greed.”
“I am beyond humbled and honored to serve as the USW’s next president,” said Brown. “I’m committed to the work ahead and pledge to live up to the trust our members have shown in me. Together, we will build an economy that works for all of us, a system that rewards workers rather than corporations, and a bright future for generations to come.”
