Iron Ore Production Slowed by Steelworkers Strike
Picketers from the United Steelworkers representing more than 14 000 workers in at least five states shut down about two thirds of the nation s iron ore output in the first steel industry strike in 18 years. The walkouts hit Minnesota Michigan Worcester and Cleveland with focus on Mountain Iron and Silver Bay plants as talks collapsed Sunday night. The union seeks 65 cents hourly incentive pay and cites local grievances while industry spokesmen claim a no strike clause was violated. About 1 250 unresolved issues remain between workers and companies as 14 000 Minnesota and 6 000 Michigan workers walk the picket lines.
