LONDON--Steel titan ArcelorMittal (MT) said Tuesday that its
Long Products Canada Unit has struck a tentative deal with the
United Steelworkers labor union for the renewal of contracts
regarding 800 union employees.
The agreement covers union-member operations, maintenance and
office employees at the Contrecoeur East steelworks and operations
and maintenance employees at the Longueuil bar mill.
The proposal will be presented to union members for ratification
during special general meetings to be held in the coming days, the
unit of the world's largest steelmaker said. As a result, the unit
won't issue any additional comments about the agreement in order to
respect the ratification process, it added.
ArcelorMittal's Long Products Canada division employs about
1,700 people in Contrecoeur, Longueuil, Montreal and Hamilton. It
operates a scrap-metal recycling and conversion center, an iron-ore
reduction plant, two steel mills, three rolling mills and two
wire-drawing mills. The division is able to produce 2 million tons
of steel annually.
