The mill is doing fine. The increased tariffs help them sell their product since they are producing US made steel.
The mill will close after the tariffs crash the economy and they have no one left to buy their steel, but for a few quarters the profits were amazing
The mill still needs iron ore and coal. The prices of both are up because of the tariffs, so the mill isn't guaranteed to benefit from the tariffs at all.
Where does the coal to fire the furnaces come from?

Anon's actual name is Jake Steel! He is from a time long ago, of Beta Max Tapes, Floppy Disks, and Acid Washed Jeans with holes in them on purpose.
Union shops kick ass. Best job i ever had was working in the mill room of a tire plant. I chose to believe OP was telling the truth, so shout-out to him for living his dream.
