The United Steelworkers reported Thursday that its members had ratified a new contract with RG Steel, which bought Sparrows Point and two other steel mills earlier this year in a $1.2 billion deal.
About 57 percent of the hourly production, maintenance, office and clerical employees at the three facilities — which also include the Wheeling Pittsburgh Steel facility in the Ohio Valley and the former W.C.I. Steel facility in Warren, Ohio — voted for the contract.
Mountain State Carbon in Follansbee, W.Va. and Wheeling Corrugating in Wheeling, W.Va., were also part of the deal and voted for the contract.
