NIPSCO Reaches Tentative Contract Agreement with United Steelworkers
The deal is subject to employee ratification, and the lockout affecting about 1,700 workers will continue until that vote ends.
- On Thursday night, NIPSCO and United Steelworkers announced a tentative contract agreement, though the lockout remains in effect until the union ratifies the deal.
- Negotiations began on Jan. 20, following the expiration of the prior contract on March 31, leading NIPSCO to initiate the lockout on April 2 after the union rejected their offer.
- The company removed the right to mandatorily extend shifts by three hours from their proposal, Local 12775 Vice President Vern Beck told the Post-Tribune, addressing a major obstacle to workers' "work-life balance."
- Expressing "mixed emotions" on Friday, Pierce Kelly, a Local 12775 steward, noted the deal is "not all good but not all bad," as the union prepares for an upcoming in-person vote.
- Service continuity plans remain active, NIPSCO stated, adding that the agreement reflects their "commitment to our customers, communities and employees" while teams continue supporting operations.
