USWA, AK Steel reach final contract agreement mansfieldnewsjournal
PITTSBURGH -The United Steelworkers of America announced Monday that the Union had reached a final contract settlement with AK Steel Corporation, ending more than 52 months without a collective bargaining agreement, including a 39-month lockout of workers at the Company’s Mansfield facility.
“After over four years and significant management changes at the highest levels of AK Steel Corporation, the members of USWA Local 169 and their families in Mansfield have a contract,” said USWA International President Leo W. Gerard.
Ron Davis, president of Local 169, said he was somewhat surprised by the timing of the announcement.
“That agreement was reached between the International (union) and the company. We were left out of it. (The contract) is essentially the same one we signed in November of 2002. But now it’s official,” he said.------------------------------------------- posted 7:03 AM :: reference link ::
