LTV pact may not halt bankruptcy despite savings
Cleveland based LTV Steel faces bankruptcy, even with a tentative labor pact saving an estimated 260 million dollars yearly. Analysts warn cost reforms may take time, while the plan allows 140 million from a benefits fund and 90 million in pension relief rescheduled via the Pension Benefits Guaranty Corp. About 1200 jobs could be cut through attrition and labor changes, not immediate layoffs, as GM exits LTV’s customer base and a VP Buildings sale stalls. The agreement needs union approval and court clearance, with a July 30 hearing set.
