AK Steel Union Rejects Labor Contract
Written by Sandy Williams
Union members at AK Steel have turned down a new contract offer from the steelmaker. UAW Local 3303 voted overwhelmingly on Monday against ratification of a tentative contract, calling it an “insult” in light of the company’s profits.
Union workers were offered a 75 cent raise for each year of the three-year contract, which employees said would not cover the increases to health insurance premiums, deductibles and co-pays.
