Steelworker Union That Endorsed Biden Now Begging Him Not To End Trump’s Tariff On Foreign Steel

Donald Trump was one of the best American presidents in years for workers and labor. Protecting the interests of American workers and bringing jobs back to America was at the very center of his campaign and presidency.

In spire of this, the nation’s largest steelworker union decided to endorse Biden in 2020 for some reason.

Now the very same union is begging Biden to keep Trump’s tariff on foreign steel in place.

U.S. steel industry groups and the United Steelworkers union on Wednesday urged President Joe Biden to keep in place the steel tariffs imposed three years ago, saying that lifting them now would undermine the industry’s viability.

In a letter to Biden just days after his chief trade negotiator struck a temporary tariff truce with the European Union, the groups argued that the “Section 232” national security tariffs imposed by former president Donald Trump have been a success, leading to $15.7 billion in new capacity investments.

“Eliminating the steel tariffs now would undermine the viability of our industry,” wrote the heads of the American Iron and Steel Institute, the Steel Manufacturers Association, the United Steelworkers and other groups.

“Global steel overcapacity has only increased during the pandemic, and past economic crises have led to devastating import surges as other nations dumped their excess steel into the U.S. market.”

Now they’re begging Biden to keep Trump’s policies in place. Do you think Biden will help them?

What happens if he doesn’t? Will this union want sympathy from other Americans if they start losing their jobs?

What’d Sleepy Joe tell em?

“I don’t work for you”

Steve,

The union deserves to be crushed.....not the steel industry workers who most likely voted for Trump.

I have zero sympathy for the union. Individuals that didn't toe the union line and voted Trump - okay but the union put itself in this position. No tears shed.

The UAW/Big 3 did the same thing in automotive.
You reap what you sow

UAW plants not around Detroit ....wonder how many have Republican workers?

When will the rank and file realize that leadership doesn’t have their best interest in mind.

Quit giving these crooks your money.

Let your work and action stand on their own, unions are past usefulness.

Look at what the teacher’s unions have created...

What you see here is why I despise all cooperate structures, whether they be unions, religion, business, or government. They may be created to serve the people, but once they grow large enough to be a cooperate structure, they forget the rank and file and start making policies that perpetuate they own existence. The NRA comes to mind.

Truth.

Steelworkers are worried? ALL workers had better be worried.

Union members must be the stupidest, most gullible morons on the planet. They are just like Charlie Brown with Lucy holding the football. Election cycle after election cycle, the union forcibly takes money from the members, and gives that money to the dhimmicrats. Those commies then destroy the business that the union members depend on. The union officials are never impacted, they live like kings. The rank and file gets bent over and butt reamed time, after time, after time..............and they never wise up.

Remember, biden was committed to China, long ago by his ambassador, hunter.

Us Steel just canceled over a billion $ worth of work in Pittsburgh.
It will impact this are very bad.

Huh?

Steel prices and supply have sucked the last year! I have had to change several projects, because the correct material was not available. Not to mention prices seem to be up 50%, from last year! Just like housing materials, add a material adjustment into all projects. My experience!

Union leaders are simply one more despicable sub-species of politician.

Good. Maybe if enough of them lose their job they will grow up and begin to connect facts with voting

Local 433 Ironworkers Union & Electrician's Union in Commyfornia told all of their members.
If you want to stay working Vote for Trump.
If you want to loose your jobs Vote for Biteme.
Even Commyfornia was waking up before the election

These union bosses took lessons from the NRA.

I hope they both go down.

Where did all of the union dues go? Trump? lol

Most right to work states employees have a choice. Those states that do not support right to work the poor employees have no choice. If you are a union member you have no say in how your dues money is spent. You don't even get invited to the parties.

Steel went up when the tariffs were implemented but they were working and if Biden hadn't been able to steal the election China would be sucking wind about now. Instead they're in charge of our economy pretty much. Until we can get rid of Joe the Blowhard and the democrat party we're going to suffer more as time goes on. Their objective is to destroy the economy.

Democrat voters are masochistic. Most will vote democrat and ignore the ill effects. They blame it all on republicans. It's an easy gutless way to validate their stupidity. You people that live in the contested states might consider contacting your representatives and demanding they do forensic recounts by reputable people instead of the same weasels that stole the election.

I bet you believe infomercials as well. No congrescritter is going to listen, regardless of party. Contact your representative - proven ineffective for 100's of years or we wouldn't be in this mess. What's the definition if insanity?

I sincerely hope that every single union member that voted for Biden gets laid off and goes bankrupt, Every damn one!

This is not good. It would appear there are many ways to bring this country down and most all of them are being used. If the steel industry goes it will bring all the other building trades with it. I hope the Unions are happy with what they get...

Some of the most reliable democrats are conservative union members.

It’s mind blowing. Unions have figured out a way to brainwash their members. You talk to them and they are staunch conservatives in almost every regard. But then you start talking about unions and the blue comes right out. Amazing.

Joe will do what China tells him, steel tariffs will be lifted along with tech and 5G. Every union member deserves what’s coming. Stupid should hurt.

Exactly

Correct on part (1), incorrect on part (2).

I live in Steelworker Mining country, the people up here vote for whomever their Union tells them to. Always have, always will. They would vote for Satan himself if he had a (D) after his name and was endorsed by their precious Union.

Proof, the Blue Arrow Head region in the NE is Mining Country, Steelworker Union members and their families.

NOT TRUE

So do I, but the problem is that many more in the surrounding communities that are not Brain Dead Union f*cks will suffer as well. Small businesses will close, to the point of entire communities, towns and cities will become ghost towns, or close to it.

They endorsed China Joe. Screw them

That's gonna happen anyway with them continuing to vote in the D's. Pick your poison. Rather it happen and have a CHANCE to recover than no chance at all which is what happens under democratic leadership.

I am sure it all went to Biteme.
But the Union Bosses told the workers. If they wanted to keep their jobs Vote Trump.
I heard this from quite a few Local 433 boys and I also heard it from several different Electrician crews. way way before the November election

The arrogant democrat mob don't give a poop.

Not sure where local 433 is based! In general the unions support the communist agenda, pimped off by their phughed up leaders! That they elected! Screw union's!

I was going to say something similar. That being a member of a Union, and a member of the NRA while Wayne LaPierre is running it, may be looked at the same way by some.

Except many of us stopped contributing to the NRA. Union members on non right to work states have to contribute to their own demise.

They are based out of Southern Comunistmexifornia
Most of the Members I talked to were very strongly against Biteme and the Communist Party.
They got Tired of Obummer real fast.

We used to call the USW the "Amalgamated Brotherhood of Federated Fock Offs" or ABFFO for short.

Still are.

But it's just easier to call the "Idiots".

Best I have ever read!

Unions are like blacks.
Certain ones at the top make bank in colljsion with the Cems.
In turn, they lead to little guys to vote Dem
Reliably.


Even though the Dermicrats have not done a thing in decades that
actually helps them. (Clinton/NAFTA?)

I'm a member of the IUE/CWA.
Small rural plant, only union shop in our county not government.
Under 30 guys. Not a Democrat in sight. Last one changed parties
before the 2016 general. Hates his old party.

Chaps my butt that they use a part of my $8/wk to help the socialists.

I'm IBEW and I'll tell ya I'm sick of the international pushing the libtards,first Clinton with nafta, then obummer KILLING industry during his reign.Now this fool joe and the hoe killing pipelines and forcing electric auto on us when the electric grid is in disrepair and were forced to buy Canadian power.

One by one, I have gotten email notices from all my kichen cabinet suppliers that prices are going up another 10% June 1st.

I just don't believe that

I do, with a caveat. Locals across the US were bucking their Internationals. But you never saw it on paper/social media. Sure, you would see displeased members on social media taking their Internationals to task, but never would you see the president, or any other elected official, of a local officially coming out against their International.

Wait, I hate to say never....I think I saw UMWA or similar, but that was it. Its extremely rare for any elected officially to cut his own nuts off publicly.

Union leaders sound like the so called black leaders .Preaching how the Dems are their friends, mean while the leaders get richer and the workers ,people get screwed

The union members must learn that the Democratic Party is not the same party that their fathers and grandfathers voted for. Time to change the people wearing the suits and STAND UP and stop the madness.

I have no problem with unions. They happened for a reason. I have problems with stupid mf'ers that believe union "bosses" have their best interest in mind.

They're learning ... the hard way. Some are more hard-headed than others from what I'm hearing from friends in the Detroit, Ypsi area.

I hope they are all screwed they make their choice s
