AK Steel workers reject offer
Well, this isn't especially good news for either side, I expect.

Company could impose contract terms
Locked-out workers at AK Steel Monday rejected what the company said was its final contract offer in an attempt to end the almost eight-month impasse that has ripped the economic fabric of the community.
An exact tally was not disclosed by either side, but a 'substantial margin' of the more than 1,700 total votes cast were against the five-year contract proposal, according to Brian Daley, president of the International Association of Machinists Local 1943.
The vote was announced to a crowd of more than 100 gathered outside the union's hall Monday night.
