US Steel Denies Union Veto Rights In Company Sale
Portfolio Pulse from Vandana Singh
United States Steel Corporation (NYSE:X) has clarified that its labor agreement with the United Steel Workers (USW) does not grant the union veto power over potential company sale decisions. This comes amid ongoing strategic review and acquisition interest from Cleveland-Cliffs Inc (NYSE:CLF) and ArcelorMittal SA (NYSE:MT). U.S. Steel had previously declined a $7.8 billion cash-and-stock offer from Cliffs, citing it as inadequate. The company is considering multiple unsolicited proposals, including a $7.8 billion all-cash offer from Esmark Inc.
