Dear Represented Employees -  

We are committed to bargaining in good faith. Any suggestion otherwise is patently false. We want to reach a mutually-agreeable contract. But we need the USW to come to the table with us.

The last time I wrote you on August 30, U. S. Steel had just provided an updated proposal to the United Steelworkers (USW). As of September 27 at 11 a.m., we have not received a response. 

We’ve communicated with the union and expressed our desire for a response. But so far, we haven’t received one. 

That’s why we filed an unfair labor practice complaint with the National Labor Relations Board against the USW yesterday. 

We remain optimistic that if we work together, we can reach an agreement that is best for all.

-Dave Burritt, U. S. Steel President and CEO
