The Staff Representatives' Union (SRU), representing organizers, researchers, staff representatives and technicians employed by the United Steelworkers union in the U.S. and Canada, is contributing $10,000 to relief efforts for victims of Hurricane Harvey in Texas.

The SRU Executive Board voted unanimously to authorize the contribution, during an emergency teleconference meeting today.

“We stand in solidarity with families who are grieving the loss of loved ones and all those who are suffering from the disastrous effects of Hurricane Harvey,” said SRU President Steve Finnigan.

Since the 1960's the Staff Representatives' Union has been representing Staff Representatives, Organizers, Researchers and Technicians who are employed by the United Steelworkers union (USW). More information about SRU can be found at http://sru-sdr.org
