Biographical History
Steelworkers union leader in Chicago, Ill.
Edward Sadlowski is a U.S. labor activist and a past director of the United Steelworkers of America. He also ran for President of the Steelworkers twice, both times losing to the incumbent. His 1976-1977 campaign slogan was "fight-back," which was a challenge against the current union leadership. During the campaign, he spent donations that were collected from both inside and outside the union. Sadlowski lost the election and the USWA subsequently outlawed donations from employers of other industries. Sadlowski sued to overturn the rule on first amendment grounds. His case prevailed in federal district and appellate courts, but the ruling was overturned by the 1982 U.S. Supreme Court decision in Edward Sadlowski, Jr., et. al. v. United Steelworkers of America AFL-CIO.
