Standing in solidarity with the hardworking men and women of @steelworkers in Whiting, Indiana, who have been locked out for more than two months. It’s time for serious negotiations for a fair deal so this lockout can end and these Hoosiers can get back on the job and earn an income to support themselves and their families.
