About 350000 workers face possible layoffs as U S Steel turns away arrivals and plants use stockpiles built for a strike that did not occur. The deal adds a minimum $1 hourly raise over three years with cost of living protections and richer pensions and benefits, plus a $30 weekly bump in unemployment aid.
