(Harrisburg, PA) A Pennsylvania environmental justice group is voicing concerns about the blocked sale of U-S Steel to Nippon Steel, citing its effect on the community and jobs if it ultimately goes through. On Monday, Nippon Steel and U-S Steel filed a lawsuit challenging the Biden administration over the decision. Matthew Mehalik, executive director of the Pittsburgh-based nonprofit Breathe Project says Nippon’s bid would not have benefited union workers or the community, as it didn’t include a long-term plan for helping the Mon Valley. He adds Nippon said they would honor all collective bargaining agreements, but the union contract expires in 2026. Mehalik says that Nippon’s investment plan lacks specifics on how it will address the long-term health issues caused by decades of pollution in the community. He points out US Steel has faced over sixty-five million in fines and settlement agreements since 2020 due to Clean Air Act violations, primarily stemming from its Mon Valley facilities.

(Photo Provided with Release)

Noah Haswell, Beaver County Radio News

(Washington, D.C.) According to a release from Senator John Fetterman’s office, Fetterman greatly opposed U.S. Steel getting bought by Nippon Steel of Japan. President Joe Biden blocked the sale of almost $15 billion from happening on Friday. Fetterman, who lives down the street from the Braddock U.S. Steel Edgar Thomson plant, confirmed: “The original U.S. Steel-Nippon deal was a death sentence for the Mon Valley Works.” Fetterman also proclaimed that he wants to protect the
workers of the union and their “way of life” so it can prosper. Fetterman did not speak on this issue since December of 2023, when the news initially broke of Nippon Steel trying to buy U.S. Steel.

(File Photo of 5th Street covered with Snow)

Noah Haswell, Beaver County Radio News

(Harrisburg, PA) The Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission is reminding Pennsylvanians that as winter weather approaches, please be prepared for emergencies. Utility crews will also try their best to bring back services after the winter storms, so give them room and slow down in work zones while driving. According to the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission, here are some steps to prepare for emergencies:

  1. Plan Ahead: Have flashlights, batteries, bottled water, non-perishable food, and any necessary medications ready.
  2. Charge Up: Fully charge cell phones and other electronic devices in advance.
  3. Stay Informed: Monitor weather forecasts and utility updates through social media and your local news outlets.
  4. Report Issues: Report outages or downed power lines directly to your utility company. Avoid approaching or touching any downed lines.
  5. Be Safe with Generators: Use generators only outdoors, away from windows and doors, and never in enclosed spaces to avoid carbon monoxide poisoning.
