URGENT ACTION: Stand Up for Steel Jobs in Illinois

When countries like China cheat, Illinois loses. That’s what is happening in Granite City, where 1,500 people already are laid off.

China is producing way more steel than it needs. So it’s dumping it into the U.S. market at rock-bottom prices. This is hugely unfair. China subsidizes its steel production, and companies there don’t abide by labor and environmental laws like we have in the United States.

Illinois manufacturers and workers are ready to compete with anybody in the world — but they need the game to be fair.

Right now, the Illinois General Assembly is considering a resolution demanding President Obama and Congress take action to address this trade cheating. Tell your state senator and legislator to support it before the session ends on May 31.
