In an effort to avoid strike action ArcelorMittal negotiators are working with the trade unions on a last-minute deal. The collective working agreement for the steel giant expired on 15 December 2013. The trade unions have become cautious after a year of negotiations. The unions had hoped a new agreement would be effective from 15 January 2014 but the management appealed for further discussions with employee representatives.
