The United Steelworkers union has ratified a four-year contract with steelmaker Cleveland-Cliffs while it remains divided with United States Steel Corp. over wages and other major issues, the union said.
United Steelworkers, which represents more than 20,000 hourly workers at the two companies, said the contract with Ohio-based Cleveland-Cliffs delivers improved wages, insurance and pension benefits, issues that workers are also pushing for in talks with U.S. Steel at a time when profits for steelmakers have boomed.
