Titan, Steelworkers are still talking

Aug. 13, 2001

Titan Tire Corp. and the United Steelworkers of America (USWA) have not yet reached a settlement to end the three-year-long strike at the tiremaker's Des Moines, Iowa, plant.

"There are still outstanding back-to-work issues," says Tom Johnson, a USWA spokesman.

"We're hoping to get it done as soon as possible."

The parties are continuing "serious" talks.
