TOKYO -- Nippon Steel on Friday accused the United Steelworkers union of undermining talks on the company's takeover of U.S. Steel before a meeting with mayors had even concluded.
"We were particularly disappointed that the USW put out its recent statement denouncing the meeting while it was still taking place, and while President McCall was still in the room," Japan's largest steelmaker said, referring to a statement dated Thursday and co-signed by David McCall, the union's international president.
