Trump has been saying he was going to block this deal since early in his campaign. The Biden Administration was / is going to block it as well. The United Steelworkers Union has publicly said that it wants it blocked.

So WTF is all of this hubbub about? What’s happening here is absolutely no surprise at all.

Either that, or the US Steel executives who would have made bank during the sale. I previously thought Lemmy would have never supported big business interests over a union; however, the responses to this post are making me think otherwise.

I’m a local union president, I hate Trump, and I believe blocking this deal is incredibly important. People are simply too easily manipulated these days. Protecting union jobs is the whole point of a union.
