As promised, Allegheny Technologies Inc. has changed its contract offer to the United Steelworkers after the striking union did not accept the company’s proposal by a Monday deadline.
ATI had given the union until 5 p.m. Monday to accept the four-year offer made on April 20 or else it would replace it with one that the company said reflected the costs it is incurring as a result of the strike, which began March 30.
Union negotiators rejected the ultimatum on Thursday, calling the tactic bullying and accusing the company of “trying to force acceptance of its latest, take-it-or-leave-it, bad-faith offer.”
