U.S Steelworkers and Chinese Manufacturers Unite!

In an interesting announcement late last week, the United Steelworkers (USW), the union that represents those working in the U.S. steel industry, announced that it had struck a deal with A-Power Energy Generation Systems and Shenyang Power Group (SPG), two Chinese power companies. The deal they struck refers to A-Power's plans to supply wind turbines to the SPG-owned 600-MW Texas wind farm set to begin construction soon.
