PITTSBURGH (AP) - U.S. Steel Corp. and the United Steelworkers union have announced tentative agreement on a new contract covering about 18,000 workers at more than a dozen facilities across the country.

Neither side released details about the pact pending ratification by members of more than two dozen locals unions at the facilities.

The contract covers thousands of workers at the company's domestic flat-rolled and iron ore mining facilities as well as workers at tubular operations in Fairfield, Alabama; Lorain, Ohio; and Lone Star, Texas.

U.S. Steel President and CEO Mario Longhi called the pact "in the best interest of our company, our stakeholders and our employees."

3. I worked at the Lorain, Ohio plant ....

summer job while in college in the early '70s. Back then, the plant had 7,000 workers by itself.

27 factories, 3.5 miles long, industry on a monster scale. Amazing place.
