Show Notes
U.S. Steels Granite City Works in Metro East is restarting one of its blast furnaces after a two-year hiatus, marking a significant turnaround for the mill and its community. The restart, costing around $30 million, is a result of spiking customer demand and a commitment to long-term operations. The mills union president, Craig McKey, and the steelworkers are optimistic about this short-term victory, aiming to prove their worth to new Japanese owners. The local community, long tied to the mills jobs, hopes this stabilizes the economy amid years of uncertainty. Contract talks are set for this summer, promising clearer skies ahead.
