AK workers given 'final' offer
Somehow it doesn't sound quite so 'final' the second time.
Pittsburgh Tribune-Review
About 1,800 union workers locked out of AK Steel's Middletown Works in Ohio for more than seven months are to vote Wednesday on a contract the company has said is its final offer. Workers voted down AK's last proposal, which the company also called a final offer, on Sept. 25 by 54 percent to 46 percent, union officials said. Since then, the company has reworked its wording of back-to-work conditions, including promising a 40-hour work week within one week of an employee's callback.
