No Steel Strike Averts Nationwide Walkout With 30% Pay Hike
United States Steelworkers accept an eleventh hour deal granting a 30 percent wage increase and broad fringe benefits to about 350,000 workers. The contract raises costs, includes pensions and life insurance gains, a ninth holiday, and extended unemployment benefits, while U.S. Steel limits shift start times as stockpiles delay layoffs. Leaders pledge cooperation to boost productivity and competitiveness amid imports, with ratification by a 600-member union panel and potential expansion to 500,000 workers.

Kansas Vet Optimistic On Horses
Kansas State University Extension veterinarian Dr. Homer Caley says horses in most states may avoid widespread VEE exposure after discussions at the American Veterinary Medicine Association meeting. He notes only 60 percent vaccination in Mexico, urges immediate vaccination for eastern and western encephalitis strains, and asks owners to report any horse illness. If Texas vaccination proves effective, Kansas may eventually vaccinate for VEE.

Missouri to pay back pay to low paid state hospital workers
