The United Steelworkers and
US Steel have resumed contract negotiations in Pittsburgh, according to an update from the union, however a final deal has not yet been reached.
“Our bargaining team met among themselves and with company representatives for several hours on Monday, discussing a wide range of issues, including active and retiree health care, contracting out and health and safety,” the union said. “While significant differences remain on each of these issues, we believe we are making progress, and we will continue to work hard to reach a fair agreement.”
The USW added that it is reviewing a number of options regarding health care for both pre-Medicare and Medicare-eligible retirees; the union is expected to exchange proposals with the company later this week.
