Kaiser, Steelworkers Schedule More Talks

Sat., June 10, 2000

After a full day of bargaining on Friday, negotiators for Kaiser Aluminum and the Steelworkers concluded three days of talks in Houston and agreed to meet again June 12-14 in Pittsburgh. There they will continue negotiating a labor contract to resolve the 21-month labor dispute that has left about 2,000 Spokane Steelworkers out of their jobs.

Neither side would discuss details about the progress of the talks.
