Steel corp., failed to replace a 40-month-old con tract. In his letter which was also sent to about 23,000 us members on Layoff by us Johnston insisted that the com Pany s steel division  is being asked by Union negotiators to operate at a competitive disadvantage. Uss average hourly employment Cost for St coworker employees is currently $25.35 per hour. The Union argued that it is Only $24.21. Quibbling Over it is meaningless. Whichever it is it s too High he said. Johnston said the Bottom line for us is an agreement that would Cut its estimated total employment costs of$25.35 an hour by $2. Union negotiators maintain us is in better financial shape than other steel producers that have been granted conces Sions. Because us would not agree to extend the old contract Union officials say the work stoppage is a lockout that should entitle workers to unemployment compensation. Those monthly payments would help the Union stretch its $210 million strike fund and possibly prolong the stoppage.
