U.S. Steel, USW Reach Tentative Agreement
U.S. Steel Corp., Pittsburgh, and representatives of the United Steelworkers have reached a tentative agreement on a three-year contract covering more than 16,000 workers at U.S. Steel’s flat-rolled and iron ore mining operations, plus tubular operations in Lorain, Ohio, and Fairfield, Ala.
The union and the steelmaker had been negotiating since June for a new collective bargaining agreement. The previous contract expired on Saturday. Members will vote on the agreement after they review the details over the next few weeks.
"Throughout the summer, USW members worked tirelessly to achieve an agreement that we believe is fair to both sides," says USW International President Leo W. Gerard. "We are proud of the work we have done to ensure a stable future for our members, our retirees and the company."
"We are pleased that a tentative agreement was reached with the United Steelworkers on a competitive three-year contract. We believe that this agreement is in the best interests of our company, our employees and all of our stakeholders,” says U.S. Steel Chairman and CEO John P. Surma.
Additionally, U.S. Steel’s Tubular Products subsidiary reached a 3-year agreement with the Steelworkers on a deal covering its Texas Operations Division, a welded tubular products facility in Lone Star, Texas. The tentative agreement covers approximately 1,000 USW-represented employees, and remains subject to ratification by the union.
