brazil japan and russia decided to dump steel in the united states. why would any country want to sell steel at lower than the cost of production? they're going to lose money on it; right? they saw that in the short term. in the long term they knew it would happen. u.s. steel producers couldn't compete, couldn't sell at that price. and so they kept dumping steel in the united states until more and more steel companies in america went out of business. they filed their grievances for unfair trade practices and therein lies the problem. those grievances, those complaints ended up going to tribunals which sat down to study the issue and make a decision on the issue. by the time they made a decision and found out yes, there was dumping going on; yes, it was unfair to the united states, by that time all the u.s. steel companies that were affected had lost and gone out of business. when you have a trade agreement it isn't just a matter of having provisions. they need to be enforceable on a timely fashion or we'll lose businesses and we'll lose jobs in americ
