Does Rob Portman Prefer Chinese Companies to Ohio Unions?

{First, a cheap plug for my blog Senate Guru.}

Two-time George W. Bush appointee Rob Portman, the architect of the Bush economy, has had to make ends meet since leaving the Bush administration; so, he's hooked up with a law firm with clients that might not be to the liking of many Ohioans:

Fisher's campaign has tried to capitalize on working-class discontentment with the role of law firm Squire Sanders & Dempsey, Portman's employer, in a trade dispute over Chinese tires.

The law firm, but not Portman, represents a tire producers group from the Chinese Chamber of Commerce in an International Trade Commission dispute filed by the United Steelworkers union.

Ohio union members haved filed a complaint against a business group from the Chinese Chamber of Commerce; and, Rob Portman's law firm is supporting the Chinese companies over the Ohio union members. That will go over really well.
