trade war that the president has engaged in currently. i wanted to talk to tony. we re part of the iron worker s local union. tell everybody what you do and why do the tariffs have an effect on you? i m the business manager of the local. i represent all the workers that go to work on a day today basis. what that recoveries from wisconsin in the upper peninsula in michigan. what we do is we erect buildings. we put machinery in. we do a lot of heavy lifting type of work. if manufacturers aren t ready to go out and produce products, our members are not going to work. because of the increased price of the steel? on a global level, yes. what i think will happen is any type of machinery you need to put into a facility is going to have to be made out of steel, and when it is, if manufacturers can t afford to purchase that new equipment, they re not putting up new buildings. thank you, tony.
