Latrobe steel plant, workers agree on deal to end strike

Associated Press

LATROBE A United Steelworkers union spokesman at Latrobe Specialty Steel Co. said the sides have reached a tentative agreement on a five-year contract.

About 360 workers went on strike May 1 and have been locked out of their jobs since May 9. A vote is expected today. Details of the agreement weren’t available.

Union spokesman Howard Scott said the latest proposal is better than the company’s previous ones. One offer included $16,000 in bonuses over three years instead of hourly wage increases.

The firm makes steel used in the aerospace and defense industries and metal for the U.S. Mint. The plant has been operating with temporary workers.
