Unions clash to represent striking AK Steel workers in Middletown
Two international unions vie to represent 2300 hourly workers locked out at AK Steel Middletown Works for nearly four months. The Armco Employees Independent Federation backs the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers citing a strong pension and clout to settle the contract dispute. Steelworkers argue for influence and oppose IAM involvement while labor officials note mixed signals from the company and NLRB processes.
