U.S. Steel representatives met with United Steelworkers Union (USW) officials on Feb. 2 about the union’s recent grievance filings related to the proposed more than $14 billion sale of U.S. Steel to Japan-based Nippon Steel.

It was a “second-step grievance meeting,” where the merits of the grievances were discussed.
