For Bush, Unease in Steel Country By Amy Goldstein, Washington Post
'It's a broken promise,' said Andrew W. Mikilos Jr., 53, a heavy-equipment operator who has worked for U.S. Steel for 29 years. 'We haven't had adequate time for the steel companies to reorganize so we can compete,' said Mikilos, president of Local 1557 of the United Steelworkers of America. 'We are watching jobs leaving the United States in a flood.'
Pete Janicki, 45, an ironworker for 27 years and president of USWA Local 2227, said: 'He made a promise to the steelworkers. Now it looks like he is going to renege on it. . . . We did our part: the consolidation, job cuts, job combinations.'------------------------------------------- posted 6:39 AM :: reference link ::
