Workers Uniting is a trans-Atlantic trade union created in 2008 by a merger of Unite the Union (better known as Unite) of the United Kingdom and Ireland with the U.S.-based United Steelworkers union (USW).[1] Both unions still retain individual branding and leadership.

The merged union has a membership of three million members.[2]
