Rolf Gerstenberger wants Canada’s steel prices brought under public control to stop the wild price swings he accuses companies of using to justify attacks on workers.In his latest flyer to locked-out members of United Steel Workers Local 1005, he argues for the same kind of supply management system Canada already has for wheat and milk.
“Canada must produce its own steel and Canadian wholesale steel prices must come under public control so that they at least equal their prices of production,” Gerstenberger writes. “Frankly, we are sick and tired of being the scapegoat for the failures of the industry and the current economic model.”
