We write to urge you to take immediate action to protect Minnesota jobs in the steel industry. Plant closures and job losses are being caused by both illegal dumping of steel products by other countries and the declining prices stemming from an excess of steel on the global market.
We were pleased that your Administration is committed to improve the standards used to determine if anti-dumping trade enforcement actions are necessary, strengthen enforcement so that determinations of unfair dumping can be made quickly, and aggressively pursue full federal benefits for workers and their families impacted by plant closures.
