Talks Put Off Until Monday
The government’s chief labor peacemaker postponed further formal talks with steel disputants until Monday and warned the strike may not yield to a quick solution. About half a million steelworkers were idle as tensions hit transportation and other industries. Finnegan planned to stay in touch with both sides and meet separately, likely not in joint sessions before Monday. He may travel to Pittsburgh as unions and industry reps pursue a path to settlement.
