US Steel and the steelworkers union at its Hamilton, Ontario steel plant reached a tentative agreement to end a lockout that began last November. The two parties agreed to a new deal Monday, although details will not be made available until the proposed contract is ratified.
According to a news release from the Local 1005 of the United Steelworkers Union (USW) "after 11 months of a phony lockout and repeated decreed `final offers,' some headway was made and negotiations finally took place producing a tentative agreement."
