I almost got a machinist apprentice job at The Point in 1969. I passed all the aptitude tests but when given a physical by the BS medical office they said I didn't weigh enough for that position(I was a string bean back then), and they declined my application for safety reasons. Jobs were easy to find in Baltimore at the time and I ended up working for BG&E. Sparrows Point was a pretty dirty and unhealthy place to work as the retired workers in this video can attest. Homes, sidewalks, streets...literally everything in the town had a reddish brown coating of dust. The steel mill and shipyard, however, employed thousands of people over many decades and was a huge job loss for the Baltimore area when it closed down.
@AJ no I know auto manufacturers moved outside of United States. Also Maryland passed the inventory tax. The fact is democrats have destroyed manufacturing. Baltimore is a cesspool because of democrat politics. Show me one place ran by democrats that isn't a cesspool. Name one policy democrats have passed that has helped any Americans. Any.
The strike of ‘59 opened the door. Foreign companies forced customers to sign long term contracts, guaranteeing a foothold in the states, making the domestic companies have to fight for what was theirs.
Mr. John Costello was my Dad's (Stephen Kardian) best friend. No Nails John and Cigar Steve worked side by side for decades, went to the same church and were active in many church functions together, played poker together. Mr. John spoke and played harmonica at my parent's 40th wedding anniversary. Mr. John (like my Dad) was a hard-working, honest, devoted family man and he (like all the others) is missed very much.

No one brings up domestic non-union minimills?
That was a major contributing factor.
