The Sunday Business Page

CBS2-Pittsburgh-6:30 a.m.

This Sunday morning at 6:30 a.m., on KDKA-TV’s “The Sunday Business Page” – with KDKA-TV’s Money & Politics Editor Jon Delano:

On this Sunday’s broadcast, we’ll talk about the growing impact of steel and aluminum imports into the United States from China – that may be responsible for the eventual destruction of much of America’s manufacturing sector. U.S. Steel just reported a third-quarter loss much larger than originally anticipated – and lowered its financial expectations for the remainder of the year.

ALCOA – major aluminum manufacturer in the United States – cut back its production, and there is some likelihood that smelting plants in this country could be closed, next year, if the slump in the American aluminum industry continues.

In both cases, a glut of foreign raw product of steel and aluminum from China, is being blamed, to a large extent, for the decline in the American steel and aluminum industries.

What’s being done, to address the challenge?

We’ll talk with Kim Miller – Director of the United Steelworkers’ Rapid Response Education Network – to find out what labor and management are doing – together – on the political front – to fight Chinese imports.

Then, we’ll introduce you to the new CEO of the Pittsburgh AIDS Task Force – Sean DeYoung – and information from him, on how – after thirty years of operation – the Task Force is changing the way it delivers services to its clients. It will mark the largest expansion initiative in the organization’s history.

Finally, a preview of the remainder of the 2015-2016 season of the Pittsburgh Opera – one of the most important jewels in Pittsburgh’s cultural crown. Our guest is Christopher Hahn — General Director of the Pittsburgh Opera – with some thoughts on why it’s so vital for opera to reach a younger audience – including children – for opera to survive, and thrive.

That’s Sunday morning at 6:30 a.m., on “The Sunday Business Page”, on KDKA-TV.
