After serving our country in various branches of the armed forces, now they need our help fighting for their jobs.
At a time of high demand for OCTG, the U.S. industry is being squeezed by dumped imports from South Korea and other nations.
Failing to fully enforce our trade laws puts more than 500,000 American jobs on the line and risks outsourcing the benefits of America’s energy boom.
The U.S. has trade remedy laws that serve as the last line of defense for American firms and workers in the face of trade cheating. But when the rules are not effectively enforced, U.S. producers lose sales and profits that go toward innovation, plant expansions, and hiring American workers.
U.S. workers deserve a fair shot. You can help.
Tell your elected officials you’re counting on them to stick up for American workers when the Department of Commerce makes its critical ruling in the Oil Country Tubular Goods (OCTG) trade case.
What are OCTG products?
Oil Country Tubular Goods, or OCTG, are the steel pipe products used in the extraction of oil and natural gas, and play a critical role in our quest to become energy independent. Domestic producers use state-of-the-art technology and employ thousands of American workers who stand ready to do that if given a fair chance to compete. Our oil and natural gas infrastructure should be built with American-made steel.
