United Steelworkers

President Donald Trump approved the $14.9 billion sale of U.S. Steel to a Japanese company — despite promising before last year's election to block it. However, a union representing thousands of steel workers in Indiana continues to raise concerns about the deal and how it could impact workers.

The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act includes funding for highways, bridge repair and replacement, public transportation and more.

Details weren't announced pending ratification meetings, which are expected take place in coming weeks. But the union says the deal includes only some of the company's Indiana workers.

Steelworkers say they're not benefiting from the industry's rising prices and profits, brought on partly by the Trump administration's tariffs on steel imports.

Workers from Indiana and around the country talked with federal representatives this week about the effect of excess Chinese steel imports on national security.

The United Steelworkers says the number of jobs saved is actually 800, not more than 1,100 as President-elect Donald Trump said last week.

In the past few months, there have been two deaths at Gary Works, which is the largest steel mill in North America.

Supporters say the TPP will open up trade between the U.S. and 11 Pacific Rim countries, plus Canada and Mexico. Critics say it will cost Hoosier jobs.

In the nearly six months since Carrier's announcement, unions and politicians alike have used the layoffs to argue that free trade can hurt American jobs.

The Pittsburgh-based company, which employs thousands in Gary, is accusing China of price fixing, stealing trade secrets and mislabeling where its steel is coming from.
