Steel Talks Long Term Contract Crux Of Deadlock
Stalemated steel contract talks push toward a strike deadline of midnight next Saturday. The dispute centers on a five year pact with automation fears from the union and expansion aims from management. If 650,000 basic steel workers walk out, impact could ripple through the economy. David J. McDonald says the five year plan risks workers mortgageing a future, while opponents warn a wage rise only hides job losses. Management offers include a 52 week layoff pay plan and concessions on premiums vacations holidays. U.S. Steel vice president John A. Stephens says furnaces may shut by Wednesday or Thursday if the strike holds, denying a conspiracy claim by McDonald.
