- Cliffs sent letter to U.S. Steel on Aug 22, 2023 demanding compliance with Right to Bid provisions under Basic Labor Agreement.
- United Steelworkers assigned these rights to Cliffs in connection with its offer to acquire U.S. Steel.
- This escalates Cliffs' hostile bid, pressuring U.S. Steel to engage in acquisition discussions.
