U.S. Commerce Dept. Announces Final Coated Paper Duty Margins

"Our members work hard and play by the rules," said Jon Geenen, USW International Vice President. "All they want is a fair chance to compete. This decision shows clearly what they've been up against in terms of unfair trade practices of the producers they have to compete against."

"It's time, once and for all, for us to have the rules of fair trade enforced and the government to stand up for their interests. The domestic industry has experienced capacity reductions and under-utilization resulting in the loss of jobs in communities all across the country. The petitions show that unfairly traded imports from China and Indonesia are a significant contributor to that underutilization of capacity, mill closures and resultant job loss," said Geenen.
