First of all...it's ladles, not "ladels". Second, there is much more to the steel industry than "dipping ladles". If you'd read the article that you demanded I reference, you'd know that. Third, that "overpriced labor" you talk about risks their lives everyday to produce steel. Some die, some are maimed, all bear scars. Even if a steelworker survives working in the mills, the odds are that they won't live too many years beyond 65. Years of exposure to toxic chemicals take their toll on a person. That's part of the reason (though not the only part) that they receive the wages that they do; the great risk they assume by working in a mill.
