Steel Industry Heads for Recovery Parade with Wage Boost
Pittsburgh reports a wave of wage increases across the steel sector. Corrigan MacKinney Steel announces a 10 percent rise effective April 1, with other major producers signaling similar moves. An official GM at U S Steel noted a potential 10 percent raise nationwide, affecting about 8,000 workers in his plants, while many firms declined comment. The move follows President Roosevelt's call for higher salaries and may prompt broader pay hikes if production remains steady.
