What a shit show from both sides. Steel workers vote to strike because US Steel proposes lump sum payments instead of hourly wage increases.

And another lol at the company. They know lump sum payments over hourly wage increases will save them millions in overtime pay. So much for those tariffs and tax breaks really trickling down.

U.S. Steel employs roughly 1,200 workers at their Granite City plant. The workers voted Thursday to approve the possible strike.

Workers are chiefly concerned with increasing healthcare costs and decreasing benefits for current and future workers, and healthcare costs to retirees, Dowling said. Workers are also displeased with a proposal by U.S. Steel to replace wage increases with lump sum bonuses based on company financials.

U.S. Steel workers at other plants across the country have also indicated a willingness to strike in votes this week, according to other media outlets.
