“Becker remains a staunch supporter of Biden and said he’d love to see the president come here and talk to his union brothers and sisters.”
And if Joe doesnt show up, you can always go to a nursing home, pick out a resident with dementia, and make your case to him.
Moron.
The county was heavily Trump. He “lost” due to Philly and Pittsburgh
better be,will need the unemployment checks
He’s not trying to help you, he put you out of business. You should all learn to code /s
AA union’s support of Traitorjoe is important to save union leaders’ jobs, not union members’ jobs.
“Reminds me of the Union coal miners that supported Obama, then lost their jobs.”
And that was AFTER being told they would lose their jobs if Obama were elected!
The union bosses, their job done, moved on to greener pastures and the rank and file went on welfare.
Happy Ending in a Democrap fairy tale.
Wait until they find out their union pension fund has been looted.
“...it marked the first significant manufacturing loss in this state...”
Sure won’t be the last.

Or learn to make solar panels.

“That great sucking sound”...
...is that of union dues payroll deductions.
Well, consider this
A few years back a huge facility was built to manufacture silicon compounds to be fabricated into among other things, solar panels. It was a big deal, a news item for years. It was said to cost $5 billion. It was to use lots and lots of electricity and was built near a TVA nuclear plant.
Today, the only jobs are those of the guards minding the vacant property.
You get what you vote for
“Becker remains a staunch supporter of Biden “
Well then Becker is an idiot. Enjoy the suck that you helped foist on the rest of the country, Becker...what a moron.
Before retiring, I spent 12 years as a manufacturing and economic development consultant. This article refers to 2 factors I saw play out many times with negative results: sale of a company to an outside financial group and costs of environmental rules imposed and threatened.
Outside financial buyers need to “turn and burn” in order to see the bottom-line results required by their backers. When that can’t be accomplished in a relatively short time window, the changes imposed on company operations rarely have positive results for the workforce. This PA situation was compounded by the union factor along with looming environmental compliance costs.
I personally saw this exact scenario play out with a local steel mill that produced reinforcing bar from scrap steel. It was a union workforce in an aging plant that faced a potential $80-million environmental rules upgrade cost to continue operations. Today, that plant site has been leveled and is being re-developed. The first project has been a Chick-Fil-A store that does strong business.It will take a bunch of those to equal the economic impact of a steel mill.
Mitchell Becker, head of the union, is now without a union and a job. When he decided to support Biden over Trump, he refused to see nor acknowledge the enormous success that Trump was creating in keeping jobs in America and bringing jobs back to America. He had his head so far up the arse of the Democrat party that he was blind to everything that should have been important to his union and his job. Forest Gump’s mom was correct when she said, “Stupid is as stupid does.”
After the union bosses get their money nothing else matters it’s a deal with issue.
Maybe Biden should send all of those employees a years supply of birth control pills ‘cause they are sure getting fu*ked!
