Leslie is joined by Leo Gerard, International President of the United Steelworkers Union (USW).
The two analyze United States' trade deficit with China, and how the newly announced steel and aluminum tariffs are a good first step in leveling the manufacturing playing field with China.
They also discuss how organized labor played a huge part in Conor Lamb's upset victory in Pennsylvania's 18th congressional district.
