A summary of the tentative four-year agreement between the United Steelworkers and U.S. Steel Corp. has been mailed to the 16,000 members in the 12 union locals covered by its terms.
Approval of the pact would put $6,000 signing bonuses in the pockets of each of the company’s union workers, including the 5,500 employed at the combination of Gary Works, the Midwest plant in Portage and at East Chicago Tin.
Voting on the agreement by union members is by mail-in ballot, with the vote to be counted in early to mid-September, said Jim Robinson, USW District 7 director.
