RIP, US Steel.
Funny thing is, US Steel is just a name. They're much smaller than Cleveland Cliffs and Nicor, which are other America steel companies. As is, US Steel can't compete and their factories are decades out of date. Once US Steel closes down, entire towns are going to die. Each US Steel worker supports 7 people in their towns, in the form of family and local businesses.
It's why US Steel union workers are for the deal. Nippon Steel has promised much needed upgrades, that they won't fire the workers, and a chance to revive the flagging towns where they're at
