Sooooo let me get this straight....the steel workers are upset

[justoffal]

Because US Steel is NOT BEING SOLD? Can somebody help me with this. What is it that the Union leadership is missing out on that pisses them off about this?

I can understand not having a vital industry owned off continent. Though I think we buy more steel than we sell at this point....still the idea of keeping ownership local seems to make sense.

'Gut punch': Trump upsets local union leaders by opposing U.S. Steel-Nippon deal

You're as dull as a butter knife, bro. I don't see you being a multi-billionaire with a beautiful wife, wonderful kids, and a two-time President of the US. Polish that scrotum, like a good boy.

Union leadership supports it not being sold. Maybe look elsewhere other than "Annie" for your news.

So why are they pissed? Or is that BS?
Ok I read your link....Seems there's a considerable element in the Union that feels differently.

There is somebody always pissed at something.

I'm thinking "local leaders in Pittsburgh " are actually a few Democrat Party operatives who are against anything Trump says or wants to the point of destroying The USA to to prove it.

John G. Ferrari: The president and the president-elect are both wrong about Nippon Steel

The Biden Administration, as reported by the Washington Post, said that the “president’s opposition to Nippon Steel’s acquisition of...

www.post-gazette.com

Nippon is willing to invest in modernization, while the current ownership is not. It's as simple as that. USS is on a slow path to bankruptcy. Concerns about having these mills owned by "foreigners" are silly. They cannot take them back to Japan. In the event of a war, those mills will be working as hard as ever - and more efficiently - to do their bit in the effort.

Can somebody help me with this.

Yup...you see...DEMOCRATS LIE!

They found one union leader with a gripe & report that's how ALL STEEL WORKERS feel.

Same shit different day.

I thought President Trump was siding with the union here? I was under the impression that the USWA was against the US Steel-Nippon deal?

Probably demanding that Trump buys it.... so the US becomes like a Communist country.
