The USW fought efforts to drop the anti-dumping payments on silicon metal from China and Russia, showing it would harm American workers, costing good manufacturing jobs. USW spokesman Wayne Rannick.

: “First and foremost by winning we save some good manufacturing jobs for our members that produce silicon metal at two facilities, Globe Specialty in Niagra falls, New York - the other is at West Alloy, West Virginia.
