Help Save America's Steel Jobs
Steve Korotko, Chad Cramer and Mike Grillo (above), all have served full tours of duty in the military and now they are United Steelworkers (USW) Local 1219 members and serve as safety reps at the United States Steel Corp.'s Braddock, Pa., plant.
After serving our country in various branches of the armed forces, now they need our help fighting for their jobs.
At a time of high demand for Oil Country Tubular Goods (OCTG) the U.S. industry is being squeezed by dumped imports from South Korea and other nations.
There is overwhelming evidence that these foreign OCTG products are being illegally dumped in the U.S. market—at prices below fair value and in deceptive ways designed to circumvent international trade laws.
The United States has trade remedy laws that serve as the last line of defense for America's firms and workers in the face of trade cheating. And last year U.S. steel producers filed a case with the Department of Commerce over the dumping.
Failing to fully enforce our trade laws puts more than 500,000 American jobs on the line and risks outsourcing the benefits of America’s energy boom.
U.S. workers deserve a fair shot. You can help. Click here and tell your elected officials you're counting on them to stick up for America's workers when the Department of Commerce makes its critical ruling in the OCTG trade case.
