My goal is their goal: to protect the union way of life and allow it to endure.” Washington, D.C. – Today, President Biden officially blocked Nippon Steel’s $14.9 billion takeover of the United States Steel Corporation. Senator John Fetterman (D-PA) released the following statement in response: “The original U.S. Steel-Nippon deal was a death sentence for the Mon Valley Works. They had zero concern for the USW members and our communities in the Mon Valley. “U.S. Steel was met with a united front of hardworking union men and women — a firewall of resistance that forced Nippon to raise their bid by billions and make one concession after another. “I’m always going to trust and follow the wisdom and the judgement of the union. My goal is their goal: to protect the union way of life and allow it to endure.” Senator Fetterman, who lives across the street from U.S. Steel’s Edgar Thomson plant in Braddock, has been outspoken on this issue since news broke of the proposed sale in December of 2023. Today, Fetterman filmed a video on his roof across from the plant, standing with USW in opposing the sale. | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T17:10:36Z |
