Steel groups, USW urge action on stronger trade legislation

Three steel trade groups and the United Steelworkers (USW) union hosted an event on Capitol Hill on Wednesday urging action on strengthening legislation against unfair trade.

The American Iron and Steel Institute (AISI), the Steel Manufacturers Association (SMA), the Committee on Pipe and Tube Imports (CPTI), and the USW touted the benefits of the “Leveling the Playing Field 2.0 Act” (LTPF), which was introduced into both houses of Congress last year.
