USW and U.S. Steel Reach Tentative Agreement

United Steelworkers at U.S. Steel have reached a tentative agreement on a four-year labor contract with the mill, avoiding a potential strike. USW officials said the contract will allow workers and management to move forward in a way “that allows us to share in the company’s success.”

“The company came to the bargaining table this summer intent on forcing us all to accept a bad agreement,” wrote the USW in a member update.” What they failed to consider was that the members of this union never back down from a fight. Thanks to all of you, we were able to reach a tentative agreement that includes none of the regressive, concessionary demands the company was prepared to shove down our throats. That is solidarity in action.”
