FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
July 26, 1999
BUCHANAN ENDORSED BY
INDEPENDENT STEELWORKERS UNION
WEIRTON, WV -- Today, the 4,000 member Independent Steelworkers Union based
at Weirton Steel Corporation officially endorsed Republican Presidential
candidate Patrick J. Buchanan.
Mr. Buchanan told the union members, "The globalists in Washington who
believe that all Americans are riding a wave of Wall Street prosperity
don't like to talk about the Weirtons of America. But I have seen
factories closed and towns destroyed by illegal steel dumping, and I
believe this betrayal of American workers must come to an end."
"President Clinton broke his 1992 promise to Weirton's steelworkers to
'enforce strictly the antidumping laws'," Mr. Buchanan said. "But in the
words of Ronald Reagan a generation ago, I pledge to you that America will
not become a 'steel dump for the world.' In a Buchanan Administration,
you will have an ally in the White House who will stand with America's
steelworkers against the foreign regimes that are killing our jobs and
ravaging our manufacturing base by illegally dumping their subsidized
steel."
Independent Steelworkers Union President Mark Glyptis said, "We are
extremely pleased to fully endorse and support the only presidential
candidate who is genuinely concerned for the future of the American steel
industry and American working people. Pat Buchanan has a history of
standing up for American workers, and today we stand united for Pat
Buchanan."
