United Steelworkers President David McCall is making a final push ahead of November’s US election to stress to members why union leadership opposes a Japanese takeover of United States Steel Corp. as some rank-and-file members openly challenge his stance.
McCall said he has met with many members in recent weeks to underscore his concerns with Nippon Steel Corp.’s $14.1 billion offer and vows to spend the next 13 days reinforcing the message to steelworkers. He argues that there’s no clear guarantee the Japanese producer would keep union jobs years down the line and its promised investments may not be all they’re cracked up to be.
