What happened to our steel plant ? wasn't the so called layoffs because of the UAW strike ? It looks to me that USS just wanted to get rid of the union plant to ship work to the right to work states! maybe old Joe Biden will step in to right this wrong . after all the unions all supported old Joe Biden. right ?

But Millgirl, the auto industry is a private company get he showed up for a photo line and tried to involve himself in negotiations. All of these so called leaders are opportunist to obtain voles.

Anyone heard our butterball governor step in? Not even a statement . Even though Trump came here and threw his weight around, it had no effect. None of them care.

Bottom line is when I was growing up it was called Granite City Steel. The n we went through National, Nippon and U.S Steel and it was a corporate business and not a company that cared about this city. This is the result of weak policies in the 70’s when many of our based companies left town.

If a politician shakes your right hand take note of his left reaching for your wallet. I trust none of them to fight for a city or county that has given up their voter base to Betterviille.

Opie, I totally agree with your response , Truth is there is not a further reduction in operations planned at this time. This is more about the 400 who were laid off in October when they shut down the Blast Furnace and were nit given a WARN notice at that time as required by law when any company reduces is employees in large numbers.

_______________________________
Let's examine why business operate.
Clue #1: It is NOT for the purpose of "caring about this city." IT IS about producing product or products that people want to purchase at reasonable prices.
Clue #2: Since when did any union care about competitive prices? They simply crow, "More, more, more!" Take the teachers unions, please.
They've been crowing for fifty years and during that time, they have had nothing but pay raises.
What did they bring? Declines in education, homosexual grooming, and now transgender grooming.
No more Bibles, no more morality stuff. But, hey, the teachers and the other unions got more and businesses said, "Gee we can produce this overseas for much less. Buh bye!"

Knock, knock. Who's there? Nobody with much common sense.

John -

I understand you’ve been at the epicenter of masculinity, the California tennis scene, since whenever.

You’ll be shocked to learn than GC isn’t overrun with trannies and alternative lifestyle recruitment facilities.

Religion is a myth.

Take care.

Aaaaarggghhh! Chainsaaaaawww!

JPG, and that's the mentality that sent jobs to other countries. How has that worked out for the national economy?

You show an obvious lack of economic knowledge so maybe sit this one out. I am as conservative as it gets but I am smart enough to know when trickledown economics doesn't work.

Look back at the 60's and 70's. Those union workers built most of the infrastructure that made these companies economic power houses. In return for that, they asked for fair contracts and got them.

Corporate profits are higher than ever and the companies now feel it's not fair to share a small portion of your profits.

You're probably all for a kid flipping burgers deserves making $20 an hour but begrudge a teacher making their wage? You think a man working in a dangerous steel mill doesn't deserve a fair contract? Not sure what college you went to but I'm guessing it was online.

John - "homosexual grooming and transgender grooming" are you serious?

RAINN (Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network), the United States’ largest anti-sexual violence organization, defines grooming as “manipulative behaviors” used by sexual abusers “to gain access to a potential victim, coerce them to agree to the abuse, and reduce the risk of being caught.”

Gay folks and transgender folks are not pedophiles. Educate yourself.

To further clarify my point, you cannot "groom" someone to be gay or transgender. Providing every student, regardless of their sexual identity, with a safe and supportive environment in schools is critical.

I agree with both Opie and Soccer's points of view...JPS is showing his lack of education about economics as well a education about gay and transgender people..he would be better to do some research on these issues instead of posting nonesense..
