Union Rejects Steel Firms Pay Proposals
A deadlock in New York between the Big Three steel firms and the United Steelworkers of America halted talks on a new contract. The union called wage proposals by U S Steel Bethlehem and Republic entirely inadequate, while management warned higher offers could trigger inflation and hurt business. Four negotiating teams will reconvene tomorrow at 10 a.m. with a stance for a five year deal and a package not exceeding current terms, amounting to about 17 2 3 cents the first year rising to 65 cents by year five. The stalemate risks a strike by about 650,000 steel workers when current contracts expire June 30, though talks continue.
