Steel Industry Offers Rejected By Negotiators
United Steelworkers Union rejected a contract proposal from U S Steel Bethlehem Steel and Republic Steel claiming it offered a 65 cent per hour package over five years while the first year would yield only five cents more per hour in take home pay. Union President David J. McDonald called the offer too little and too late and said fringe benefits delayed would not compensate. Negotiations must wrap up within 15 days before the June 30 contract expiry.
