Goal: We call on Nippon Steel, U.S. Steel, and relevant government agencies to immediately address safety, environmental, and labor issues at the Clairton plant, ensuring worker and community health, transparent accountability, and a just transition for the reg
The fatal explosion at the Clairton U.S. Steel plant is the latest in a series of preventable tragedies that have put workers and the surrounding community at risk. Despite years of fines, lawsuits, and public outcry over hazardous conditions and pollution, meaningful improvements have been delayed or deprioritized in favor of shareholder profits and industry consolidation.
With Nippon Steel's recent acquisition and promises of investment, now is the time to demand real accountability and action. Workers deserve safe jobs, the community deserves clean air, and the region deserves a sustainable economic future. We cannot allow another disaster to occur due to neglect, cost-cutting, or lack of oversight.
We urge Nippon Steel, U.S. Steel, and all responsible agencies to take the following actions immediately:
Key Demands
- Conduct a transparent, independent investigation into the recent explosion and all safety incidents at the Clairton plant, with full public reporting.
- Implement comprehensive, enforceable safety and maintenance upgrades at the Clairton facility, prioritizing worker and community safety over profits.
- Guarantee the right of workers to organize, report hazards, and participate in safety planning without fear of retaliation.
- Invest in modernizing the plant with the best available technology to reduce toxic emissions and protect public health.
- Establish a community oversight board with real power to monitor plant operations, safety, and environmental compliance.
- Develop a just transition plan for workers and the Mon Valley community, including retraining, job guarantees, and investment in sustainable industries.
