The United Steelworkers Local 1005, which represents most of the union workers at U.S. Steel Hamilton Works advised Steel Market Update this afternoon that they have come to a tentative agreement on a new contract. We believe this is the first contract that was settled between US Steel and their Hamilton workers, represented by Local 1005, since U.S. Steel bought the Canadian mill back in 2007. The union provided the following information:
“Local 1005 USW informs you that a tentative agreement has been reached between Local 1005 USW and U.S. Steel Canada for a new contract. The current contract expires tomorrow, October 15, 2014.
The tentative agreement will be presented to the 1005 membership and retirees at the Membership Meeting to be held on October 15, 2014 at 4:14 pm at the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 163, located at 435 Limeridge Road East.
No information about the tentative agreement will be provided to the media until after it has been provided to the membership.
The Tentative Agreement will be put to a vote on Wednesday, October 22, 2014.”
