Today in Pittsburgh, our 2020 contract negotiations with ATI began with our first face-to-face meeting with management.
We exchanged proposals.
Our union proposed a substantial wage increase and pension improvements and provisions to protect our health care and other benefits.
Management proposed below industry standard wage adjustments and concessions in other areas of the contract including health care.
They also proposed non-economic concessions in seniority that would negatively impact every member of the bargaining unit at each USW-represented location.
The committees will continue to meet on local issues and will update the membership as we make progress.
Solidarity is our strength and our path to achieving a fair and equitable contract.
