Not sure he is implying that; he’s just stating what historically happens when the mills get the benefits of tariffs put on their competitors.

I would question that is what historically happens. All corporations will want to maximize profits and minimize expense. Salaries are an expense. Tariffs don't change that.

Not all corporations are unionized, it is historical, profit goes up, maybe marginal increase in total employment, union gets a bigger bite of the apple. Oh, and lead times increase.
