To the editor:
The Herald-Star editorial board is right - defending American workers should be one of the most important parts of our jobs as public servants ("Brown Defending Workers in Area," Monday.)
And when we stand up for the Ohio steel industry, we get results: After we pushed the Commerce Department to address illegal trade practices, they announced last week that they'll impose a 122.5 percent tariff on steel from China, to help level the playing field for Ohio steel companies and their workers in Steubenville and Eastern Ohio.
