Arbitration orders AK Steel to recall workers at Middletown Works
An arbitrator requires AK Steel Corp to recall more than 100 laid off Middletown Works employees and reach a total hourly workforce of 2,761, down from a prior 3,114 floor. The decision offers AK an alternative fund option and sets recall timelines, with a Sept 30 target to match February 1, 2005 staffing levels and possible recalls as early as next week. Ed Shelley of AEIF calls it a major win despite not reaching the 3,114 target.
