Washington, D.C. – Congresswoman Terri Sewell issued the following statement after U.S. Steel announced it would temporarily lay off some of its workers at Fairfield Tubular Operations and Fairfield Works in Fairfield, Alabama.

“I am deeply disappointed by U.S. Steel’s recent announcement that they will lay off workers at their Fairfield, Alabama facilities. I am concerned about the workers and families who depend on these critically important jobs to make ends meet. While my hope is that this reduction will only be temporary, it is imperative that we work together to minimize the impact of these potential layoffs on the lives of these hardworking men and women.

“U.S. Steel is an integral part of our local and regional economy, and I am proud to stand with members of the United Steelworkers. Congress must do more to help companies like U.S. Steel and others in the manufacturing sector grow and create more jobs for Americans.”
