Tom Conway, International President of the United @Steelworkers, was a true champion of American workers and a stronger American economy. He will be deeply missed.
I’m saddened to hear of the passing of my friend Tom Conway, International President of the United @Steelworkers. Tom was a stalwart champion of American industry and a relentless advocate for American workers. I’m keeping his loved ones in my prayers at this difficult time.
