The Congressional Steel Caucus, chaired by U.S. Pete Visclosky, D-1st, is scheduled to hold a hearing on Tuesday on the stabilization of the steel industry.

According to a statement released by Visclosky’s office on Wednesday, the hearing will feature testimony from constituents in steel-producing regions across the country, industry experts, and industry leaders, and will emphasize further efforts which Congress can undertake to help stabilize the steel industry and preserve and create steelworker jobs.

The Steel Caucus is a bipartisan group of 100 members of Congress who represent districts with steel manufacturers or who care about the health of the American steel industry. Through legislation, roundtable discussions, and hearings, the Steel Caucus focuses on the needs of the steel industry and what it takes to level the playing field for employers and preserve American jobs.

Jim Robinson, director of United Steelworkers District 7, will participate in the hearing.
