USW: New U.S. Steel Proposal Falls Short
Written by Sandy Williams
A second contract proposal by U.S. Steel to United Steelworkers has been met with disdain by the USW bargaining committee.
U.S. Steel’s Sept. 12 proposal calls for a six-year term with wage increases of 4 percent the first year followed by 2 percent annually the following five years. Workers would receive a $4,000 ratification bonus along with profit sharing bonuses for the third and fourth quarters of 2018 guaranteed at $6,000 or more.
