Yet the rank and file steelworkers are told to blame the environmentalists when the steel mills are shut down. I remember seeing a bumper sticker on a car back in the '70's that said "Hungry and out of work? Eat an environmentalist." It's easier to blame the people fighting for clean air, water, and safe work environments than Big Steel.
