If something is performed in “good faith,” actions are put into play sincerely and honestly from the beginning to a fair conclusion. Lawyers use the adverb ab initio –from the inception. That is my concern and my opinion on an atrocious corporate transgression inflicted upon 1,600 American workers and hundreds of thousands of northwest Indiana customers.
On April 2, 2026, Northern Indiana Public Services Company locked out 1,600 US Steelworkers. NIPSCO They will keep the lockout until the union accepts their “last, best, and final offer.”
The lockout took place after NIPSCO (Blackstone and other related investment teams are said to be out of the affair) ran out the clock on the previous contract with the steelworker’s locals and offered nothing but what the teams from USW Local 12775 (largely male utility electric and gas workers) and USW Local 13796 (dominantly women clerical and support workers) put forward in “good faith.”
That is far from bargaining in “good faith.” That is 19th Century Robber Barony USA. Members of United Steel Workers (USW) locals are being treated to Old School thuggery, I believe.
Good faith? No, sir. This was an endgame.
