USW OFFICIAL CONTRACT RATIFICATION ANNOUNCED; Local 1899 Members Ratify Contract Proposal Overwhelmingly
____________________________________________________________________________
Representatives of your Bargaining Committee met in Pittsburgh today to count ratification votes on the proposed Contract Agreement with U.S. Steel.
With nearly 70% of Local 1899 members casting a vote on the proposed 2022 Contract Agreement, 97% voted to accept the proposal with just less than 3% rejecting the Agreement.
These results pretty much mirror totals released by the International with 79% of USW members at USS returning a ballot and 95% voting to approve the new contract.
Thank you for your support and solidarity throughout this long process. Together, we can all be proud of this agreement.
