March 11, 2025: Extension signed through April 30, 2025
ATI and the USW have signed an extension of the existing contract through April 30, 2025. In the coming days, negotiations will reconvene toward reaching a successor agreement.
We will provide updates as appropriate. Please continue working safely, delivering on commitments and looking out for one another.
March 10, 2025: Ratification Unsuccessful
ATI is disappointed to learn that the ratification vote was unsuccessful, and failed to result in a successor labor agreement with the United Steelworkers. We remain committed to moving forward with negotiations for the purpose of reaching an agreement in the best interest of all parties. We also remain dedicated to serving our customers without interruption and will continue to safely operate in the manner necessary to deliver our commitments.
February 28, 2025: Tentative Agreement Reached
A tentative agreement has been reached with the leadership of the United Steelworkers (USW) on a new six-year Labor Agreement. The previous contract was set to expire at 11:59 p.m. tonight, February 28, 2025. The USW will begin working through the ratification process.
We thank you for your support, and continued focus on safety and delivery, as we’ve worked to secure a competitive contract without interruption.
February 26, 2025: Heavy activity this week; working to secure agreement prior to expiration

Discussions remain productive, and significant movement has taken place – both parties are working hard to close the remaining gaps and reach an agreement prior to Friday's expiration.
Thank you for your patience and support throughout this process.
February 21, 2025: Meaningful movement this week; resuming on Tuesday

We are scheduled to meet Monday through Friday of next week, and anticipate the USW will provide us with another proposal on Monday.
We understand that the contract expiration is on everyone’s minds – trust that it’s on the minds of both negotiating teams, too, and both parties are committed to reaching an agreement that will enable stability and consistency for our employees and the business.
