USW contract talks with U.S. Steel/Cleveland-Cliffs go to break

United Steelworkers (USW) bargaining committee members are returning home after what turned out to be short attempts at again reaching new labor contract agreements with United States Steel Corp. and Cleveland-Cliffs, Inc. “Despite the flashy graphics USS sent today, their proposal hasn't changed since Sept. 30,” the USW said in an update to USW-represented members at U.S. Steel facilities. “It still includes significant increases to your healthcare costs, including more than doubling deductibles, more than tripling ER (emergency room) copays and increasing PCP (primary care physician) specialist visit and prescription drug copays.” USW Bargaining Committee members last week had returned to Pittsburgh to again meet with the companies in an effort to resolve differences and reach new labor contracts.
