Former RG Steel plant closed in 2009 has been

[doc03]

sold and is restarting in January. I worked at that plant for 39 years my last day of work was April 17, 2009 the mill was a victim of the Bush Recession. When I started there in 1970 we had about 6000 employees. They plan on starting the 80" hot mill the first of the year to roll slabs from another mill then have the electric arc furnace running in the summer. Much of the plant has been scraped so it won't employ 6000 as before but I would guess several hundred. People have been working in plant to get it going for several months
so Donald Trump had nothing to do with it. It is located in Mingo Junction Ohio. THANKS OBAMA

1. Doesnt matter

Trump will get the credit.

2. Trump will take credit for it, since Obama rarely crows about his efforts.

Despite what the RW lie machine likes to push.

3. Wow doc, THIRTY NINE YEARS!! I hope you are peacefully retired

now?? As someone who has had approximately 115 jobs in her 66 years, one job for THIRTY NINE YEARS just blows me away!!

And so glad RG is lighting back up next month!

5. That's how people lived their lives from the 40s through the early 80s

They got a job that paid enough to pay the bills and joined a union to keep it that way. They'd work at that job or be promoted within the company until they turned 65.

That kind of security also meant a certain amount of boredom, but it also meant the workforce got very, very good at their jobs.

After 1980, we started to see merger and takeover fever that closed plants down to decrease competition and eventually move it all overseas. "Job went tits up" became more common on work histories.

4. China has quality control problems, big ones

so I imagine we'll see a lot more domestic manufacturing starting up. Unfortunately, it will be more limited than before, but at least we'll have a core of experienced workers ready to train others in case of an economic embargo.

Now if only we could start making cloth and shoes.

6. I just heard on CNBC a few minutes ago that we have effective full employment.

Obama inherited the worst recession in 80 years and the economy is really picking up steam and the public
votes that asshole trump in to take the credit. The American people are stupid.

7. Trump will get the blame for the recession that is coming

His policies are guaranteed to cause one. Dems have to be ready to keep the blame on him, though.

8. Fox News convinced their followers that Bill Clinton and Barney Frank caused the last one

they claim banks were forced to give loans to people that didn't qualify.

9. Mingo Junction...

I haven't heard that name in a long time. Hope it brings some good paying jobs.
