Black History Month Profiles: Scott Brannon

For Black History Month, we’re taking a look at a group of leaders who are currently actively making Black history across the labor movement. Check back daily for a new profile and meet some of the people working to improve not only their community, but also to improve conditions for working people across the country. Today’s profile is Scott Brannon of the United Steelworkers (USW).

Scott Brannon is a 24-year member of USW Local 310L in Des Moines, Iowa, and serves as chair of the local’s civil and human rights committee. He has planned field trips to local civil rights monuments, driven by a passion for educating his fellow members about how past civil rights struggles continue to inform the present. Brannon and his wife are also active in the newly founded Coalition of Black Trade Unionists Iowa chapter.
