U.S. Steel Corp. said today it reached a tentative agreement with the United Steelworkers union on a new four-year labor contract that will cover about 16,000 workers at U.S. Steel's domestic plants, including the Edgar Thomson plant in Braddock, the Irvin plant in West Mifflin, the Clairton coke plant in Clairton and iron ore mining operations in Minnesota, as well as tubular operations in Lorain, Ohio, and Fairfield, Ala.
The agreement, if approved by the USW members, will replace a contract that expires on Sept. 1.
U.S. Steel CEO John Surma said in a statement that the four-year agreement is competitive. "We believe this agreement is in the best interests of our company and all of our stakeholders," Surma said.
A USW spokesman at the union's Pittsburgh headquarters could not be reached for comment.
No details of the tentative pact were released.
