On November 2nd, 2018 the USW reached a Tentative Agreement with ArcelorMittal.

I would like to thank the Executive Board members, Communications Action Team, and each and every one of you for all of your support, patience, and such a strong showing of solidarity and unity during the bargaining process.

Now that we have a tentative agreement, it is our job to explain that agreement to the membership.

Going forward, you should expect to receive a packet in the mail containing a summary of the tentative agreement and a ballot. Those packets should be going in the mail, directly from the printer, on or about the 16th of November.

I plan on having special membership meetings to discuss this tentative agreement on Tuesday, November 20th at 4:00 pm and 7:30 pm, also on Wednesday, November 21st at 7:30 am. These meetings will be held in the Banquet Hall.

Please bring your summaries with you, as we will be going through them.

It is important to understand that the summary you will be receiving in the mail contains highlights of changes going forward once the ratification process is completed. Anything that is NOT in the summary, will remain unchanged.

 In Solidarity, 

Pete Trinidad

President, USW LU 6787
