Casey: “I’m concerned about what this means for the Steelworkers and the good union jobs that have supported Pennsylvania families for generations, for the long-term investment in the Commonwealth, and for American industrial leadership”

Washington, D.C. – Today, U.S. Senator Bob Casey (D-PA) released the following statement about the announced sale of the U.S. Steel Corporation to the Japan-based Nippon Steel Corporation:

“The United States’ marquee steel company should remain under American ownership. From initial reports, this deal appears to be a bad deal for Pennsylvania and for Pennsylvania workers. I’m concerned about what this means for the Steelworkers and the good union jobs that have supported Pennsylvania families for generations, for the long-term investment in the Commonwealth, and for American industrial leadership."
