Steel Industry Offer Rejected By Labor Union
NEW YORK AP the steel industry made an overture quickly rejected by the union that the industry drop its insistence on a one year wage freeze if the union would make specific concessions on other contract terms. That leaves the United Steel workers of America and the industry still deadlocked less than three weeks from a strike deadline. The industry proposed eight contract changes to increase efficiency and reduce waste. R Conrad Cooper, chief industry negotiator and executive vice president of U S Steel Corp, said union acceptance would generate new economic progress. USW President David J McDonald called the proposal industrial blackmail and warned the leaders want to force a shutdown in steel. The three year contract expires June 30 and a strike by 500000 union members could occur. Negotiations continued and the union seeks wage increases, a cut in the 40 hour work week, and other benefits. Current basic wages average 3 03 an hour.
