By John BIERS Braddock (États-Unis) (AFP) - Le projet de Nippon Steel de racheter United States Steel provoque le malaise à Pittsburgh, où l'industrie métallurgique dominait autrefois l'économie et reste toujours majeure dans l'esprit collectif. Des opposants, comme le syndicat United Steelworkers (USW), considèrent ce rapprochement comme la dernière menace en date d'un long combat pour maintenir cette activité après les fermetures d'usines des années 1970 et 1980. "L'histoire est tellement présente ici et beaucoup de fierté va avec", explique Bernie Hall, quatrième génération de sa famille da...

Braddock (United States) (AFP) - Nippon Steel's proposed acquisition of United States Steel has been a source of unease in Pittsburgh, where the metal once dominated the economy and still looms large in the collective psyche. Critics such as the United Steelworkers (USW) see the transaction as the latest threat to come along in a years-long struggle to keep the industry alive after plant closures in 1970s and 1980s battered the American rustbelt. "There's just so much history here and a lot of pride that comes with that," said the USW's Bernie Hall, a 4th generation metals worker. "It wouldn't...

"Boeing has spent a long time, since 2012 trying to squeeze the supply chain by forcing them to cut their costs to Boeing, year over year," said Jon Holden, president of the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers (IAM) for District 751. "I'm fine with efficiency," Holden said. "What I'm not okay with is undermining the health of the manufacturing process." Holden's ...
