Good news for Cliffs' Iron Range miners
Two tentative labor contract agreements between the United Steelworkers union and Cleveland-Cliffs Inc. is a big piece of good news for steelworkers, families and the Iron Range as a whole. The tentative four-year labor contract agreements comes after months of tough negotiations. But there’s another part of the negotiations that’s just as significant. Steelworkers who had been laid-off at Cleveland-Cliffs’ Hibbing Taconite Co. are being offered the opportunity to come back to work, Chris Johnson, United Steelworkers (USW) Local 2705 president at Hibbing Taconite said. With the call-backs, between 375 and 400 steelworkers could be back to work at the taconite plant, Johnson said. Laid-off Hibbing Taconite steelworkers are being called to determine whether they want to come back to work at the plant, Johnson said. “I just got done going through the list of laid-off members,” Johnson said Thursday evening. “So everybody who has been laid-off or transferred (to another Cliffs’ facility) has the opportunity to come back. All of our people are going to have a chance to get back to work and get good pay.” The USW bargaining committee and the Cleveland-based steel and iron ore producer reached a tentative agreement Thursday on a new labor contract
