Pact Averts Pittsburgh Strike In Steel Industry
A threatened 12 000 worker strike at Crucible Steel Company of America was averted with a pact signed by union leaders and management. The agreement, tied to Carnegie Steel, names the Steel Workers Organizing Committee as the exclusive bargaining agent for Crucible members and weakens Inland and other major producers' stance. Murray said the recognition would spur a larger drive against Republic Steel Youngstown Sheet and Tube Inland and Bethlehem Steel, with about 175 000 workers to be affected. Regional director Van Asten prepared to meet Inland about a final contract as Sharon Steel votes soon on exclusive representation by the union.
