Michael Rootes created Sept 14: USW Delivers Economic Proposal

Our USW-Cliffs bargaining committee held another series of discussions with...

Our USW-Cliffs bargaining committee held another series of discussions with the company this week as we work toward a new collective bargaining agreement. Our current agreement expires on October 1.
This week we presented the company with a comprehensive economic proposal that addressed issues including real hourly wage increases, forced overtime, active health care coverage and retiree health care coverage, as well as the issue of mine life for Hibbing Taconite. All of our proposals were based on the feedback we received from members when we conducted our surveys earlier this year.
We expect to hear from the company again on Monday, Sept. 17. We will keep everyone posted when we have more information on the company’s response, so please continue to stay in touch with your CAT coordinators for the latest information from the bargaining table.
Solidarity Works!
As bargaining continues and our contract expiration date approaches, your solidarity will be the most important factor in achieving a fair agreement. Please continue to display your USW stickers and participate in our weekly “T-shirt Thursdays” and other solidarity events as they come up to show the company that you stand with our bargaining committee.
Our committee’s goal is to reach an agreement that rewards us fairly for our hard work. We are committed to working with the company for as long as it takes to do that, and we are counting on you to help us make sure that management gets the message.

A solidarity rally for HIbbing and Chisholm School teachers will be held on Wednesday September 26th 2018 at 6 P.M. at the MInnesota DIscovery Center. Come and show your support for teachers and tell the school district that it is time to settle these contracts now.
Please show up and show our local teachers that the members of Local 2705 have their backs, as I am sure they will also support us in our bargaining for a fair and equitable contract!

The Triangle Factory Fire Scandal is a 1979 made-for-television movie. The film chronicles the 1911 Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire, in which 146 garment workers died.
There were many preventable reasons for the high death toll, such as the doors to the narrow stairwells and exits being locked by the factory management (a common practice then to prevent employees from stealing and taking unscheduled breaks), the fire escape in the rear of the building collapsing, the firefighters’ ladders being several stories too short, and the water from the fire hoses only being able to reach up to the seventh floor — when the factory occupied the eighth, ninth, and tenth stories of the building.
This disaster spurred the growth of the labor movement, and the demand for safe working conditions.
