A great tribute to the common working man. Exploited by their employers, then thrown on the scrap heap when Asians would work for less.

I would have loved to see a tour of this anyday! My grandparents both worked in the mills.. My one grandfather worked as a big boss in the remaining USS Irvin Plant, and my other pap working in the National Tubes steel mill in McKeesport, and how my neighbor was a big boss in the USS Clairton Works. I've always loved learning about the United State Steel's numerous plants around the Pittsburgh area. shame they are now all but gone for us to never see again. Thank you for a piece like this.

Look in the mirror you democrat pricks as to why this happened, how many NPR stations have you got in pittsburgh now, how many green organic soy milk jobs do you idiots think it will take to replace this, you morons bankrupted the company with your union demands and now you're bankrupting the country with the same me, my, mine, mentality, the worst part is you dumbasses will never figure out who the problem is....look in the mirror..democrat voting morons.

My father and my ex-husband both worked in the mills in Braddock and Homestead, PA. Loved this video. I would listen to their stories, but never got to see some of the things they were talking about. GO STEELERS.
