Don Furko, president of United Steel Workers Local 1557 union, stands outside the US Steel Clairton Works on January 21, 2020, in Clairton, Pennsylvania. - White plumes of smoke billow above western Pennsylvania's rolling hills into the frigid air as scorching ovens bake coal, which rolls in by the trainload along the Monongahela River.
