Steel has become an integral part of the American economy. But as a large portion of the sector is being "sold off to the highest bidder," members of the United Steelworkers (USW) union are sounding off over the transaction.

How far behind this can the auto sector be?
It’s already happening to farms, food processing, and housing as well.
90% of union PAC $$ goes to Democrat pols. Enjoy the suck guys.
Didn’t their very own Union fully support Biden? Isn’t this what they voted for?
We should have some protectionist measures for certain industries.
No non U.S. citizens should be able to own land.
Look for the union label!....................
is the USA buying out companies in countries like japan, china etc, and buying up huge tracts of land like those countries are doing here in the US? Seems like more and more US land is falling into the hands of FOREIGN entities, and we aRE slowly losing land to foreign entities-
As well, we now have several gov folks like ilhan omar whose interests lie NOT in America, but in somalia, Tliab whose interests lie in her country, not in America- and some other female whose interests lie in her native country too- More and more we are gettign people in congress and such whose interests are not in America- but rather in their own homelands-
US government made a deal years ago with the Mob, to let them control the Unions to keep the Communists out.
[[No non U.S. citizens should be able to own land.]]
Exactly- just posted on that issue- we are losing more and more sovereign soil to foreigners every year-
IF true, it was a failure. Labor union leaders are 100% communist.
Dig deeper my friend. It is another corrupted Senile Joe “deal”. Japan has suddenly started buying huge amounts of US Treasury debt to take up for the huge amount of buyers selling off.
A few months ago the Fed had to purchase $200 billion of Treasury debt notes, no takers. Previous to that Japan was selling off the debt instruments….then suddenly does a 180 and starts making huge purchases.
Do note- the Fed stated last week that $$$ 2 trillion of debt notes were coming due this year….keep in mind we are now paying $$$ 1 trillion in interest payments alone….the “ thinkers” know what that means.
Not really. If you look at the labor unions in Europe, especially Britain and France, they are hard core Communist.
Our Unions are just corrupt.
they failed.............................
I'd agree if they were truly bipartisan in their efforts to buy politicians. They aren't. They massively support the communist democrat party.
At least after WWII, our Unions pretty much opposed the Soviet Union, and were “Pro-American”.
In Europe, the Unions were directly controlled by the Communist Parties, with Soviet support.
This is complete bullshit
Nippon is a heck of a lot better buyer than Cleveland Cliffs, who tried to fuck US Steel shareholders with the cooperation of the Biden morons and the union leadership.
I’d rather have a Japanese owner these days than pretty much any other country. They learned with moving auto plants to the U.S. how to handle the market.
“Do note- the Fed stated last week that $$$ 2 trillion of debt notes were coming due this year….keep in mind we are now paying $$$ 1 trillion in interest payments alone….the “ thinkers” know what that means.”
Where do you go, what do you do?
I can’t speak for steelworkers, but I was in IBEW.
The rank and file were heavily R voters. They were also almost entirely white.
