Tom Willis Visits Closed Cleveland-Cliffs in Weirton

Ad copy

Visited Weirton outside of the closed Cleveland-Cliffs plant. It’s clear that the consequences of unchecked dumping are real. 900 hardworking West Virginians lost their jobs because foreign competitors have been allowed to flood our market unfairly. We cannot stand by while American steelworkers and our domestic supply chains are undercut by unfairly priced imports. At the federal level, I will fight to ensure we have strong protections in place to stop dumping and keep good-paying jobs and American industry right here at home in West Virginia.
