WASHINGTON (AP) — Steel
industry negotiators sat down at
the bargaining table today in an
atmosphere of hopefulness that
they will agree on a new con-
tract by a self-imposed April 15
deadline.
If they do not have an agree-
ment by that time, they said
they would submit all unre-
solved issues to binding arbl-
tration.
The settlement between the
Big 10 steel producers and the
United Steelworkers of America
is expected to be a costly one for
the industry, resulting in higher
prices for consumers
It is expected to follow the
pattern set earlier this year in
USW contracts with the alumi- ,
mum can industries
USW President 1 W Abel has
indicated he is seeking a wage
increase above 10 per cent to
"reflect at least increases In the
cost of living plus productivity"
for his 350,000 members am-
ployed by the 10 major
steelmakers.
Barring unforseen develop-
ments. all wage-price controls
on the industry will be dropped
by April 30, leaving producers
free to pass on increased wages
and benfits in the form of higher
steel prices.
The bargaining is taking
place under an historic "ex-
perimental negotiating agree-
ment" signed a year ago which
precludes strikes or lockouts
nine per cent increase already
agreed upon
An Improvement in the wage
coat-of-living formula that
added nearly 40 cents an hour to
paychecks under the current
contract also is expected
But the main emphasis is ex-
pected in the pension area,
where the union is seeking to
duplicate a landmark penslon
program negotiated with the
aluminum companies and later
with the can producers.
That plan provided for the
first time in an industrial pack-
age a partial cost-of-living es-
calator for retirees It also low-
ered the full-pension retirement
age from 65 years to 62.
