Veterans Committee

The UWUA counts many veterans among its membership and we work hard to respond to the unique needs of this population. This committee works to recruit veterans into utility sector careers and also advocates for causes our veteran members feel passionately about. Most recently, the Veterans Committee supported the successful effort to pass legislation expanding VA benefits to veterans who were potentially exposed to toxic fumes caused by burning trash pits on military bases.
