Militant/Tony LaneSteelworkers on strike against ATI and supporters rally May 15.
LOUISVILLE, Ohio Some 150 striking steelworkers, fellow United Steelworkers union members, retirees and other supporters rallied May 15, as 1,300 steelworkers here and in four other states continue their strike against Allegheny Technologies Inc.
ATI announced last December they were planning to shut down the Louisville plant. Since then no closure date and no severance package have been set.
“The company won’t give us a shutdown date, so do they want to shut it down?” Dave Burgess, one of the Louisville strikers, told the
Militant. “They’re trying to sway the union to take a bad contract.”

New projects study root causes of inequalities and how to reduce their effects
Fifteen projects from improving doctor-patient communications for high-risk patients, to using data to understand racial differences in how Americans handle civil legal problems, to better understanding the factors that influence success and well-being of Hmong-American students at the University of Wisconsin–Madison have been chosen for the Understanding and Reducing Inequalities Initiative.
The projects were selected from 73 proposals. The initiative is funded by the Office of the Vice Chancellor for Research and Graduate Education and the Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation.
“The proposals we received are evidence of the exceptionally wide breadth of research on our campus targeting inequalities based on factors such as race and ethnicity, socio-economic status, gender, sexual orientation and geography,” says Lonnie Berger, associate vice chancellor for research in the social sciences. “
Off to a busy start, data institute responds to COVID and seeks director
The American Family Insurance Data Science Institute’s first two years have been nothing if not eventful.

Within weeks, the institute had convened a team of leaders and experts from across the U.S. The COVID-19 Research Group met daily in the early weeks of the pandemic, creating models and sharing findings as quickly as possible.
