STEEL INDUSTRY: The effect of the toxic combination of IMPORT DUTIES and AMSA's INABILITY TO SUPPLY

he effect of the toxic combination of

IMPORT DUTIES
and
AMSA’s INABILITY TO SUPPLY

Another response by a business

We do pre-cast rib and block. We need I-Beams to support our lattices. We were told by NJR we will only get: I-Beams next year February and at a premium price.

How can we serve our clients with such utter nonsense going on? Even normal rebar are a problem to get. Y10, Y12 and Y16. We are never sure from the one day to the next if we will be able to cast and if we are going to get steel.

Honestly, every morning I still ask myself: is this still all worth it. Then the Unions are on our backs for wage increases, bonuses, etc. We’ve had 3 steel price increases already and 2 cement increases. Where must the money come from for wage demands? The way I feel more and more is, close the doors and they can all go and sit at home.

How is AMSA’s inability to supply the market affecting your business?
