PITTSBURGH, PA (AP)-- U.S. Steel and the United Steelworkers announced a tentative agreement Sunday on a three-year contract covering more than 16,000 workers at domestic facilities.
Details of the contract were not announced. The union said members will vote after reviewing details over the next few weeks.
The two sides had been negotiating since June on a contract to replace the existing pact, which expired Saturday. U.S. Steel said the talks covered employees at domestic flat-rolled and iron ore mining facilities as well as two tubular operations.
The union has still not reached agreement with two other companies, ArcelorMittal and Cliffs Natural Resources. The United Steelworkers said talks with Cliff's Natural Resources had broken off but would resume "at a future date not yet determined."
In the meantime, a rolling contract extension would remain in place under which terms of the old contract would be renewed every 48 hours unless one of the parties indicates otherwise.
