Union Rejects Big Steel Offer as Too Little and Late
New York United Steelworkers president David J. McDonald called the wage and contract proposals from U S Steel Bethlehem and Republic too little and too long. He said the five cent an hour raise plus fringe inadequacies and late effects mean the industry offer does not modernize the contract and could spark a strike before June 30 when current deals expire. The wage policy committee of 170 members backed the rejection unanimously. The industry counters with a six cent raise and minor two tenths of a cent adjustment for skilled workers, plus a one and a half cent more insurance deduction, yielding about a nickel net take home pay. No immediate comment from the Big Three.
