PITTSBURGH — The grievance filed by United Steelworkers against United States Steel Corp. alleging violations of its basic labor agreement in the $14.9 billion proposed sale to Nippon Steel is in the hands of arbitrators.
The Pittsburgh-based union, which represents about 10,000 U.S. Steel employees, filed the grievances in January, about a month after the Dec. 18 sale announcement by U.S. Steel after several months of a bidding process. United Steelworkers said the sale to Nippon Steel violates the union’s rights regarding change of control under the four-year Basic Labor Agreement signed in 2022. United Steelworkers in particular has said U.S. Steel (NYSE: X) violated the successorship clause in the deal with Nippon Steel.
There is a multistep process agreed to in advance over disputes large and small over issues related to the contract. That starts with a grievance, which was filed Jan. 12, and after U.S. Steel denied the grievance — as it did — the union sought the arbitration. The arbitration panel is composed of three members who are mutually agreed upon by both sides.
