AK Steel, Union Members Reach Tentative Agreement

MIDDLETOWN, Ohio —

AK Steel and the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers (IAM) have reached a tenative agreement on a new labor contract covering about 1,750 hourly production and maintenance employees at the company's Middletown plant.

The IAM told the company Wednesday that it would present the contract to its members for ratification. The new agreement would be effective March 15 and would run through September 15, 2011.

Headquartered in Middletown, AK Steel produces flat-rolled carbon, stainless and electrical steel products, as well as carbon and stainless tubular steel products for automotive, appliance, construction and manfacturing markets.

The tentative agreement comes one year since the workers were locked out of the plant. Nearly 2,700 hourly workers were forced out of the plant.
