Canton, Ohio – The United Steelworkers (USW) today said that the members of USW Local 3610-02 have ratified a new, three-year agreement with PSC Metals, ending the company’s lockout after six months.

This week, the company’s board of directors formally approved the contract, which includes economic and contract language improvements for the hourly workforce, and the USW withdrew unfair labor practice charges it previously filed with Region 8 of the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB).

USW District 1 Director David McCall praised the members of Local 3610-02 for their solidarity and determination to fight for fairness at the bargaining table.
