Who Killed Vincent Chin? (was Barkley on WTO, etc)

[Tom Lehman]

Back in the 80's after this incident happened,  I had 3 or 4 letters
published cautioning my fellow union brothers and other union friends
not to kill anyone over a foreign car.  In the letter I recounted how
Chin a Chinese American driving a Japanese car had been killed.  I asked
rhetorically if it was worth killing someone over a foreign car.  In my
opinion it was not!

By the same token at the same time foreign steel import penatration had
reached 50% or more in some product lines and steel production had
slumped to around 40% of or less of  steelmaking capacity.

Personally, I think the Steelworkers and other unionists at that time
showed true courage and self control in the face of terrible adversity.
