AK Steel union members at Butler Works in Pennsylvania ratified a new three-year labor agreement last week. The agreement covers about 1,200 members of the United Auto Workers Local 3303 and will be in effect until June 15, 2022.
“We are pleased to have reached a labor agreement at Butler Works for our employees,” said Roger K. Newport, Chief Executive Officer of AK Steel. “The new agreement continues to provide a competitive and flexible labor contract for AK Steel and our Butler employees.”
UAW members ratified three-year agreements in May at AK Steel’s Zanesville Works and the Mountain State Carbon cokemaking plant.
Butler Works produces a wide range of flat-rolled steel products, including electrical steels and a variety of stainless and carbon steels.
