Ron Kirk Speaks at Braddock Steel Mill

A United States trade representative made his way to speak to Pittsburgh steelworkers at the Mon Valley Works Steel Plant about implementing new trade enforcement measures that are going to maintain jobs as well as create new jobs in the country.

These measures include addressing trade barriers affecting this county’s agricultural producers and manufactures, increasing coordination with the Department of State, Labor, Commerce, Agriculture and other federal agencies to locate and respond to trade barriers, and committing more observation of foreign labor practices, particularly substandard practices that tilt the playing field away from American workers in violation of labor obligations in trade agreements.
