Your bargaining committee met this morning with U.S. Steel, and it is becoming clear that the company has been surprised by the level of anger and solidarity you’ve displayed.

While of course they would never admit that, they modified their proposal and then within minutes posted it on their website while the union was still reviewing it internally. You undoubtedly understand their play for what it is - another clumsy and bad-faith attempt to try to influence everyone’s first impression and undermine your bargaining committee. 

This week, our negotiating committee continued to meet both internally within our committee and with ArcelorMittal management while 15,000 of our brothers and sisters at U.S. Steel facilities across the country unanimously granted strike authorization.

Typically this site will remain apolitical.  Only issues that could affect your job or your working condtions will be brought to your attention here.  However, it is our belief that it is the responsibility of all of our members to take an active interest in knowing and understanding the issues and knowing which candidates will best represent their views, opinions or beliefs.
