Advocating for Transaction to be Approved on its Merits
Employees of United States Steel Corporation (NYSE:X) ("U. S. Steel") today will host a rally at the U. S. Steel Mon Valley Works Clairton Plant in support of the Nippon Steel transaction. Represented and non-represented employees, along with community members and local elected officials, will gather to reinforce their support for the transaction. They will again call on officials across the nation to recognize the significant benefits this transaction holds for employees and other stakeholders and to advocate for regulatory reviews to be focused on the merits of the deal. Earlier this week, Nippon Steel announced that all eligible USW-represented U. S. Steel employees and eligible non-represented employees will receive a $5,000 bonus within 30 days of deal closing.
