CLEVELAND, OH— Cleveland Cliffs has reached a tentative agreement with the United Steelworkers Union on a new contract.
The 47-month contract covers about 2,000 employees—including Negaunee Local 2950—at its mining and pelletizing facilities in the Upper Peninsula and Northern Minnesota.
The current agreement, which includes workers at the Tilden mine, was set to expire at the end of the month. The new agreement is set to take effect on October 1.
Officials say the new contract covers several areas, including health care, benefits, wages, and retirement, as well as safety, scheduling and seniority.
