CLEVELAND — The battle to keep and grow American steel jobs is an ongoing one as the industry fights against an increase in what Ohio's two U.S. senators call a surge in unfair Mexican steel imports.
"Republic Steel unforunately announced plans to close it's Canton, Ohio and Lackawanna, New York plants last December; 500 workers are losing good paying union jobs," Brown said."Since last year we've sounded the alarm on this, we've called on the administration on this but the unfair imports keep flooding into our country."
"We suspect that once that report gets put on his desk, he will reject it. We also have arbitration scheduled on our collective bargaining agreement in a couple of months, so the Board of Arbitration for US Steel will either reject the deal or CIFIUS will or they both will."
