AK Steel union voted down pact 998-768
The Cincinnati Enquirer
The vote by locked-out Middletown Works employees on AK Steel's contract proposal apparently was closer than the initial indication by a top union official, a company spokesman said on Thursday.
After hourly production and maintenance workers voted down a proposal the company had said was its final offer, union president Brian Daley said Monday night that the contract was rejected 'substantially' but he didn't release vote numbers.
If only 116 people had voted the other way, the vote would have been ratified. 116 out of 1900 eligible voters. 6%
