On March 4th, 2016, Senator Schumer revealed new attempts by China and other countries to undercut U.S. steel producers like Chemung’s Nucor Vulcraft plant. As a result, Schumer used this visit to call on the Department of Commerce to protect Nucor and its workforce by addressing massive surges in imports of subsidized and predatorily-priced cold-rolled and corrosive-resistant steel. Schumer said the Department of Commerce should immediately use the tools at its disposal to level the playing field for Nucor and its 320 workers. Schumer said he is concerned that without swift actions, China will continue to flood the U.S. rebar market with cheap products in an attempt to snuff out U.S. competition.
