The United Steelworkers (USW) today lauded new legislation introduced by U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-OH) and U.S. Rep. Louise M. Slaughter (D-NY) that would support our nation’s workforce and strengthen the competitiveness of American industries globally, while enhancing the administration’s ability to reduce foreign trade barriers.  The Reciprocal Market Access Act, which looks to reform the process by which goods are exchanged between the U.S. and other countries, is cosponsored by U.S. Sen. Kay R. Hagan (D-NC). 

“We need to take action now to rebuild our economy by ensuring that American manufacturing can succeed globally,” said USW International President, Leo W. Gerard. “More than ever, it is critical that our trade negotiators enforce rules to ensure our industries can compete fairly and that we address our ballooning trade-deficit.” Click here for more.
