United States Steel wants to do what is right by its employees. We have always sought the loyal coopera-
tion and friendship of our employees.
.
United States Steel favors proper programs of insur- » . ance, welfare, and pensions for its employees. We have had insurance and pension plans in effect for many
years. We are ready and willing to fry to work out with
the Union through collective bargaining any changes
in our existing programs for insurance and pensions
which are now necessary or desirable. 4
Last week we made an offer to the Union to pay as our
share of the cost of programs of insurance and pensions
to be negottated with the Union up to an average of :
4 cents an hour for insurance and 6 cents an hour for
pensions. That was a very substantial offer on our part.
It would provide at our expense insurance and welfare benefits which our employees do not present enjoy. The adoption of such programs would add more than
$50,000,000 annually to our costs of operation.
The Union flatly rejected this liberal proposal and called a steel strike against us. Why? Simply because United States Steel is not willing to agree in advance
that it will pay the entire cost of insurance and pensions
for its employees.
Because of the Unlon’s adamant stand that we must pay the entire cost of insurance and pensions for employees, the Union has deprived our employees of an opportunity immediately to obtain, without additional cost to them, insurance protection far superior to that
which the employees now possess.
United States Steel proposed to pay as its share of
the cost of an insurance program about $5.70 a month
for each participating employee. A single employee.
would pay as his share about $2 a month and an em-
ployee with dependents about $3 a month. Our employees on the average are now paying under existing
welfare arrangements more than these amounts each
proposal.

month for lesser benefits. The payments by our &m-.
ployees under the proposed insurance program would not reduce their present take-home pay.
A proper and financially sound pension plan calls for most careful consideration. United States Steel has
offered to join with the Union in making a joint study
on pensions, and, upon the completion of this study, to negotiate with the Union for a pension plan té be included in a new labor contract, effective on May 1, 1950. As an indication of its good faith, United States Steel has offered to pay up to 6 cents an hour as its share of the cost of a mutually satisfactory contributory
pension plan. Here again, the Union flatly rejected our
The only issue in the present steel strike is this:
Shall United States Steel be forced ow to agree that it must pay the entire cost of insurance, welfare benefits and pensions for its employees? An assumption by the employer of complete financial responsibility would amount to the adoption of a major and highly costly principle, probably for al! time. Moreover, such action by a large steel company would probably set a pattern for all American business. There is grave doubt as to the financial ability of American industry alone to pay the cost of adequate Insurames and pension programs for employees. Furthermore, Is 1t not In the best interests of thie employes that Ke participate in the creation of a savings account for his future welfare?
Social security in which both employer and employee share the cost has been the established order in this country for many years, as evidenced by the Federal Social Security Act. ..
Why should our employees and the whole nation suffer the disastrous consequences of a steel strike, from which the employees have so little to gain?
