In a meeting with 600 steelworkers in a union hall in Pittsburgh, Harris vowed to prevent steel giant US Steel from being sold to Japanese buyers. – US Steel is a historic American company, and it is crucial for our nation that we have strong steel companies. US Steel must remain American-owned and American-operated, Harris said. Monday was Labor Day, which marks the start of the rush into the election campaign ahead of the election in November.

The company says a sale is the best solution for the employees, but many of the unionized workers are concerned, and Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has made it clear that he will stop the sale if elected. The workers in the so-called Rust Belt in the swing states of Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin could be decisive in the November election, and it is expected that both Harris and Trump will focus on them. Trump stayed at home on Monday, but Harris had a campaign rally not only in Pittsburgh, but also in the automobile city of Detroit, Michigan. The latest national poll shows Harris leading 45 percent to 41 percent in favor of Trump. Published 03/09/2024, at 02.38
