More than 2,000 members of the United Steelworkers at Cliffs Natural Resources have been working on a contract extension while bargaining with the taconite mining company continues. Cliffs is attempting to use a temporary downturn in the industry as an excuse to erase decades of progress in the mining industry. But Steelworkers are committed to securing family-sustaining jobs in the mining industry for generations to come.

Cliffs Natural Resources recently sent a letter to thousands of retirees and widows announcing plans to dramatically raise their healthcare premiums. Those premium increases have been incorrectly calculated and are subject to further bargaining with the union. 

Please add your signature to join with us in calling on Cliffs Natural Resources to stop its reckless and unnecessary plans to raise healthcare premiums for retirees and bargain a fair contract that assures access to quality, affordable healthcare for all retirees.
