News. Representatives of American tire distributors told officials from the Office of US Trade Representative (USTR) at a hearing Friday that China-made tires do not compete directly against US-made products in the North American market.
They further pointed out an increase on trade tariff against low-cost Chinese tires will cause more job losses in the US and additional outlay for American consumers.
The ITC proposal to activate a three-year duty hike against Chinese made "tier three tires" is the result of a petition brought by the US Steelworkers Union (USW) which represents workers at large US tire manufacturers.
My point. Who is the winner? The consumer? The unions? The employees of the tire dealers?
