Steelworkers Rally In Lorain in Support of Trade Laws
Written by Sandy Williams
More than 200 Ohio steel workers and supporters gathered at a rally outside US Steel Lorain Tubular Operations on May 5 to urge the federal government to protect the Northeast Ohio steel industry from unfair foreign competition.
“Northeast Ohio’s steelmakers and workers can compete against anyone in the world—when given access to a level playing field,” said U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-Cleveland). “But American producers are increasingly losing sales to foreign competitors like Korea because OCTG imports are being dumped into the U.S. market. Full enforcement of our trade laws is critical for the future of this industry and its workers.”
