Lone Star and LAW strike new labor contract
Lone Star Steel Company and the United Steelworkers of America reached a new labor pact extending to October 15, 1980. The deal yields a 63 cent hourly raise now and 2.12 dollars over the contract, plus major pension, health, and unemployment benefit improvements. The normal retirement age drops from 65 to 62, with retirement not mandatory, and the company notes the changes are costly and aimed at uninterrupted production through 1980.
