The UE NEWS is the union's official print periodical, published four times a year. It carries news about contract negotiations, organizing, political action, leadership training, UE regional meetings and our national convention, and more. We also carry in-depth features on major current political and social issues affecting working people and on working-class history [1] (including Black history [2] and women's history [3]), as well as reviews of books [4], music, movies and other cultural work.

The electronic UE NEWS Bulletin comes out once per month, and is free. Subscribe by signing up for the UE ActionNet [5].

The print edition of the UE NEWS is mailed to all members of UE as part of their membership. UE retirees can subscribe for $5 per year. Other individual mail subscriptions are $10 per year. You can purchase a subscription online at https://actionnetwork.org/fundraising/subscribe-to-the-ue-news [6], or by mailing a check to UE NEWS, 4 Smithfield Street, 9th Floor, Pittsburgh, PA 15222-2226. (Print subscribers are automatically signed up for the UE NEWS Bulletin as well.)

Most news stories from the UE NEWS are published online in UE NEWS Updates [7]. Longer features can be found in UE NEWS Features [8], and coverage of political issues in Political Action Updates [9]. Most UE NEWS articles published since August, 2017, and selected articles from the previous 15 years, can be found on this online archives page on this website [10].

The University of Pittsburgh Archives, where the UE Archives reside, has digitized every issue of the UE NEWS from 1939 to 2010 [11]. Additional online materials from the UE Archives can be found here [12].

UE locals and members are encouraged to submit election notices, photographs, and news about contract negotiations, grievance wins, political action, community activism and other activity to uenews@ueunion.org [13].
