From Fox Business: Fearing that their voices are being ignored on the matter, U.S. steelworkers from a key swing state have started sounding off over a looming company sale to Japan-based Nippon.

“I want the people who started a couple [of] weeks ago to retire 30 years from now. That’s my goal. That should be everybody’s goal,” David Morgan, a worker against the deal, told FOX Business’ Lydia Hu. “And I’m not sure the Nippon Deal will be guaranteeing that.”

On the other hand, some feel Nippon’s offer and pledges for investment in the company will protect their jobs now – and into the future.

“I think we look at it more as saving everything that we’ve worked for, for the last 27 years,” U.S. Steel employee Jack Maskil chimed in, next to three other colleagues who support the proposed plan.


The report notes that, in a rare display of agreement, Joe Biden, Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump have all voiced their opposition to the takeover of U.S. Steel by Nippon.
