Steelworkers union lauds bill’s focus on building North American production.
in an interview the USW plans to add 30 new organizers to increase the union’s presence in old-line steel, oil and other industries and to expand into industries the bill is designed to encourage such as electric cars, wind-power, solar and biofuels.
“I’m going to let the work decide the size of it, as opportunities present themselves. We’re going to look at regions, we’re going to look at industries,” he said declining to break out the split between the old and new. “There is a focus on buy American, buy North American” products, Conway said. “If they write buy American legislation in there, a requirement like that, the opportunity for some of this stuff will naturally fall to unionized shops, particularly in the mining sectors.”
