Negotiators for Allegheny Technologies Inc. and the United Steelworkers union are returning to the bargaining table.
On Friday, the union said it had proposed returning to in-person negotiations with ATI to resolve the outstanding issues that led to the strike.
ATI and the union have agreed that their bargaining committees will meet in-person beginning at 8 a.m. Monday in Pittsburgh, according to ATI spokeswoman Natalie Gillespie.
“The company has committed to remaining at the table for so long as the discussions remain productive and are moving the parties closer to an agreement,” she said in a statement Monday morning.
In a release issued Friday, USW international Vice President David McCall, who chairs the union’s negotiations with ATI, said progress “has been hindered at every step by the company dragging its feet and violating labor law.”
