Women’s History Month Profiles: Alexa Gutzky

For Women’s History Month, we’re taking a look at a group of leaders who are currently active making women’s 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 Alexa Gutzky of the United Steelworkers (USW).

Alexa Gutzky is a proud Woman of Steel and member of USW Local 1-346 in Toledo, Ohio. In the six years she’s worked at Fiske Brothers Lubriplate, she has seen firsthand the power of a strong union. At just 29, Gutzky became the first woman hired in the facility’s 155-year history. Through the Women of Steel program, she gained the confidence and tools to stand up, speak out, and ensure women’s needs are recognized and respected on the job.
