    Steelworkers President Uses New Tactics Associated Press
    CLEVELAND The president of the United Steelworkers of America is using the unusual bargaining tactic of cooperation to reach breakthrough collective-bargaining agreements and retain jobs.

    Faced with the threat of job losses and plant closings, Leo Gerard shifted tactics in negotiating with International Steel Group of Cleveland and U.S. Steel of Pittsburgh. The Steelworkers accepted rule changes that reduced the work force, but in exchange got a stronger voice in the mills and in strategic business decisions such as plant investments.

    Health board passes bad-actor rule By Karen Roebuck, TRIBUNE-REVIEW
    The regulation adopted yesterday is a compromise worked out by representatives of U.S. Steel Corp., steelworker unions and Clean Water Action, a nonprofit environmental group that first proposed a bad-actor regulation to council in August 2001.
