The newest contract between the union and U.S. Steel certifies that the U.S. steelworkers will see a 14 percent wage hike over the next four years, marking the largest pay increase for steelworkers in six years.

Weeks ago, Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross — a staunch economic nationalist — predicted that Trump’s tariffs on imported steel and aluminum would lead to wage increases for U.S. steelworkers.

“In many ways the current negotiations between the steel companies and the [United Steelworkers] probably will be a bellwether,” Ross told Reuters. “It wouldn’t be surprising if there are some wage increases coming from that.”

The Dems have moved so far to the left that Trump sitting directly in the middle seems conservative

They are. Are you so ignorant as to think they will last in perpetuity...and that is the cause of the increased wages? I love the hubris/ignorance combo you dems are plagued with.

We hope.

One of the local unions had Beto and other Dem campaign signs outside their office.

IB is upset that someone other than the upper management, CEO's are making some money. The rank and file should be happy with their crumbs.....or open up their own steelmills. I know Sentrius is upset

He also has "conservatives" sucking him off. It works both ways.
