Local 8888 is proud to congratulate Roxanne Brown, who was elevated to International Vice President on July 15. “Roxy” has served as Legislative Director of the United Steelworkers.

In the past, she has organized numerous face-to-face briefings for Local 8888 delegations with key members of Congress. And she has helped to prepare Local 8888 negotiators in contract talks. Local 8888 wishes Roxy even greater success in her new leadership role. Slay!
