A new hot strip mill will transform how steel is made in Pittsburgh's Mon Valley. But what will it mean for the people who make it?
In Part 2 of this special Steel Stories series, host Ethan Epstein speaks with Chad Whelan, a process coordinator at Edgar Thomson Plant, about how U. S. Steel’s investments are changing the outlook for employees, customers and the surrounding community.
