U.S. Steel Set To Cut A Quarter Of Non-Union Workforce

Source: CBS Pittsburgh

By Heather Abraham

PITTSBURGH (KDKA/AP)- U.S. Steel plans on laying off 25 percent of its non-union workforce.

The Pittsburgh-based steel producer has about 21,000 employees in North America and about 18,000 are represented by the United Steelworkers union at last count.

Around 3,000 of those employees are non-union workers.

The 25 percent cut to non-union workers at U.S. Steel means around 750 jobs will be cut. Right now, it’s unsure how many of those cuts will be made here in Pittsburgh.
