Steelworkers to discuss labor contract

Steelworkers at the ArcelorMittal Weirton Inc. steel mill plan will discuss the details of the proposed four-year labor contract during meetings at 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. Oct. 7, 9 and 14 at the union hall on West Street in Weirton, W.Va., USW Local 2911 President Mark Glyptis said Tuesday.

The local union represents about 950 employees at the tin-producing mill. The agreement with ArcelorMittal covers 14,000 steelworkers at 14 U.S. plants.

The steelworkers would get a $6,000 ratification bonus, and wage increases of $1 an hour in the first year and 4 percent wage hikes in each of the remaining three years.


The USW plans to count the mail-in ballots Oct 21 at its Downtown headquarters.
