 Sept. 24, 2024 | JOBS | United Steelworkers leaders are adamant in their opposition to the U.S. Steel purchase, as shown in both their latest statement and the private communications published this week. The Washington Post obtained a series of memos and emails that proved Nippon tried for months to win the support of United Steelworkers, with no success. “Our union is no stranger to mergers and acquisitions, and we have seen firsthand how all too often workers and retirees are treated as an afterthought once top executives and shareholders have cashed in,” wrote United Steelworkers (USW) President David McCall and negotiating chairman Mike Millsap in a joint statement [last] Thursday. “Management at U.S. Steel and Nippon have given every indication that they are looking out for their personal interests in their proposed transaction – not for the long-term security of our plants, our jobs or the security of our nation.” Labor Tribune
