Union workers at Cleveland-Cliffs’ Dearborn Works have approved a new four-year labor contract.
Cliffs announced on Friday that its union employees, represented by Local 600 of the United Auto Workers (UAW), have ratified the new contract. It covers approximately 1,000 workers and is good through July 31, 2028.
“This equitable deal with our team at Dearborn is the latest illustration of our strong commitment to a collaborative relationship that benefits our employees and Cliffs as a whole. We are pleased to solidify this partnership with the UAW for another four years,” Cliffs’ Chairman, President, and CEO Lourenco Goncalves said in a statement.
Cliffs’ Dearborn Works in southeast Michigan produces slabs, galvanized steel, and advanced high-strength steels. According to SMU’s Blast Furnace Status Table, the mill’s blast furnace has an annual capacity of approximately 2,190,000 short tons.
