A new video is sounding the alarm over a proposed rule by the Department of Energy that threatens the Butler Works Cleveland Cliffs plant.
The UAW produced the video that talks with members of the Local 3303 chapter along with other local leaders, stressing the importance of the plant to Butler County.
The video is in response to a proposed DOE rule that would mandate transformer cores be made of amorphous steel, instead of grain-oriented electrical steel, which is manufactured at the Butler Works plant.
Local Congressmen Mike Kelly and Chris Deluzio have both expressed support for the Butler Works plant and are encouraging the DOE to rescind the policy.
