USW urged to rescind anti strike pact over German steel
USW Local 1408 president Edward Galka urged the union to rescind its no strike agreement with the basic steel industry after U S Steel Corp used foreign steel at its McKeesport plant. U S Steel accepted 135 truckloads of German billets for conversion into pipe, said to expand National Plant work while finishing capacity exceeded capacity for billets. The company argued the arrangement provides additional work and that finished pipe will be sold abroad. Galka contended the move clashes with Buy American goals and could signal layoffs in district mills.
