Steel Industry Standoff Could Lead To One Of The Largest Strikes In Years

Steelworkers are in contract negotiations with two of the country's largest steel producers, United States Steel and ArcelorMittal. The old contract expired at the start of September, and the workers have authorized a strike against both companies. Workers say they're not benefiting from the industry's rising prices and profits, which were brought on partly from the Trump administration's 25 percent tariffs on steel imports.
