Steelton's ArcelorMittal steelworkers to hold union rally this afternoon

United Steelworkers Local 1688 will hold an information and support rally at 3:30 p.m. today at ArcelorMittal's Gate 2 on South Front Street in Steelton, union officials said.

ArcelorMittal officials and union leaders have been negotiating a new contract for months. The contract expired over the weekend. Workers are continuing to work, not striking.

According to the United Steelworkers' website, all 15 United Steelworkers unions are asked to hold rallies today. About 14,000 production, maintenance, office and technical workers are represented by the unions, according to its website.

ArcelorMittal officials have not divulged any negotiation information since Sept. 1, when it released the following statement: ?Negotiations continue between ArcelorMittal and the United Steelworkers. We remain optimistic about reaching a fair and equitable contract with the USW. However, due to the sensitivities of the negotiations process, the company will not address specific issues being discussed between the parties.?
