Steelworkers win
extension in card-
check campaign
at Oregon Steel
United Steel Workers will have
three additional weeks to make a case
for unionizing to workers at Evraz
Oregon Steel Mills plant in Portland.
Under a union contract covering
workers in a Pueblo, Colorado sub-
sidiary of Oregon Steel Mills, the
company agreed to recognize the
union at the Portland location if a ma-
jority of workers signed union author-
ization cards. Union organizers were
allowed to talk to workers in company
break rooms for 90 days, a period that
was supposed to end Nov. 4.
But the union complained that the
company was violating its contractual
commitment to neutrality in several
ways, including restricting access to
some workers. At an Oct. 15 hearing
before an arbitrator, the company
agreed to settle the complaint by ex-
tending the card-gathering period to
Nov. 26 and posting a notice spelling
out workers’ union rights.
Steelworkers organizer Pete Pas-
sarelli said the union is cautiously op-
timistic it will have formal majority
support by then. The plant has not had
union representation since mid-1980s,
when the USW was decertified after a
bitter labor dispute
