Description

The relationship between U.S. Steel and the Granite City Works steel mill has been rocky for years. The company recently announced it would stop sending steel to the plant, then reversed that decision a few weeks later. Now, the plant is safe from closure until 2027, but the local United Steelworkers union is looking beyond that date and planning for an uncertain future. St. Louis Public Radio Metro East reporter Will Bauer explores the ongoing tension over the future of the steel mill, and President of the Granite City United Steelworkers chapter Craig McKey shares his union’s goals for the future.
