“It is with great pride I rise today to recognize Steve Kramer from Dyer, Indiana, as the 2020 recipient of the United Steelworkers' Leo Gerard Visionary Award. Steve has been a proud union member in the United Steelworkers District 7 for over 36 years. He is the former president of the USW Local 9777 and now serves as vice president. He is also a councilman for the town of Dyer in the First District. Steve's hard work and dedication to our steelworkers' labor unions and his community is what makes his work truly visionary and commendable. I am proud that northwest Indiana is home to so many hardworking and dedicated members of the United Steelworkers. Every day, I appreciate their invaluable contributions to the strength of our economy, our workforce, and our community. Congratulations, Steve, for your exemplary leadership of the steelworkers and all workers. ____________________”
