Tuesday morning, an email sent out to employees by Scott Buckiso, senior vice president and Manufacturing officer for U.S. Steel, confirmed the layoffs.Yet another huge employment loss for organized labor in Illinois (a closed-shop state), and probably not coincidentally, it comes just as an expanded facility is about to come online in Arkansas (a right-to-work state).
