Trump going after American steelworkers

Can't read the link, I'm not subscribing, union pillagers donate to communists, so I don't give a shit if they get what they pay for. You believe AOC wouldn't shut down that mill in a second because of your carbon footprint, but you don't care if your dues go to her do you?

It's Trumps tariffs that are hurting the steel mill. Because of them, the mill can only operate at 40 percent.

So much for saving steel worker jobs eh?
It's not just them either. Somewhere downstream there are projects not getting done because they can't afford the steel, and upstream the folks who provide the coke for the furnaces are not selling any either. That's coal BTW.

You dudmutt.....

The Chinese are buying the coal
at premium prices.

Which has not one single goD-damned thing to do with anything I posted. You're just trying to deflect.

The American steel industry can't currently keep up with current demand. I working in the automotive tool I die industry and the automakers are struggling to secure steel for new model development ad launch while maintaining current production.

The plants and people I know in this industry are thriving and updating equipment. I know a couple of people working at the local steel plant and they are hiring starting at $16 plus good benefits with no skills. It is semi-hard work, 3 shifts, you must pass an aptitude and drug test.

Stainless steel production in the US is growing, ATI dug their own grave as a re-processor of stainless and then leaving the automotive market.

This is old news,
They dug their own grave? They built the world`s most advanced hot rolling mill for $1.2 Billion and they did it with cash, not bank loans. This company has done very well with their union work force. A steel plant paying $16 an hour for that kind of work should be embarrassed. What kind of idiots are they hiring that put their asses on the line for less than my garbage collector makes? This is what a state of the art steel mill looks like.

Both my friends that work at Gerdau are at $30 plus now after working there a 20+ years. Both only have a high school diploma., One is an overhead crane operator moving, staging material, the other is a systems controller now sitting in an air conditioned room monitoring, maintaining production on an automated system.

What does ATI start unskilled labor at? Steel suppliers plan big projects

I rest my case.

No congressman/woman has the authority to shut down a factory. You`ll learn this in your 9th grade Civics class assuming that you stay in school for a couple more years.

I don't think that what was being said.
In other words the green new deal would make it impossible for the mill to operate.
