Union workers ratify ArcelorMittal Quebec mine contract

Union workers at ArcelorMittal's Mont-Wright iron-ore mine in northern Quebec have ratified a new four-year contract with the steelmaker, the world's largest, the United Steelworkers union said on Thursday. The 2 000 members voted on a contract that maintains the pension plan for all employees and provides pay parity for workers at the company's smaller, nearby Fire Lake mine, the union said.
