The "United Steelworkers" is short for "United Steel, Paper and Forestry, Rubber, Manufacturing, Energy, Allied Industrial and Service Workers - TWuG Sep 14, 09:32 8
- Interesting. Though a complaint from US tyre makers would seem like a more obvious source, rather than a union. -- nm - Loyola Sep 14, 09:35 4
  - First you'd have to find someone in the US that makes "tyres". -- nm - Reagen Sep 14, 09:40 1
    - Goodyear? -- nm - Loyola Sep 14, 09:43
  - The union represents tire workers. Imports threaten jobs in the tire industry. - TWuG Sep 14, 09:37 1
    - yup, but usually both the union and the companies file a complaint when they accuse another country of dumping merchandise into the US. -- nm - tRuMaN Sep 14, 09:38
- The United SPFRMEAISW. Who didn't know that? -- nm - Spawn Sep 14, 09:34 2
  - If they ever teamed up with SSCCATAGAPP... -- nm - Ender Sep 14, 09:39
  - "Hi, I'm with the United Spiffermeeyeswah..." -- nm - TWuG Sep 14, 09:36
steel-belted radials? -- nm - Beryllium Sep 14, 09:30
