| U.S. Steel Reaches Settlement in Injury Reporting Lawsuit |  | U.S. Steel has settled a lawsuit filed against it by the U.S. Department of Labor over its injury reporting policies. As part of the settlement, U.S. Steel is expected to pay two of its workers $1,350 in back pay and will change policies concerning the reporting of workplace injuries. The lawsuit was filed by the federal agency on behalf of the two men who were docked pay for failing to immediately report injuries on the job. According to the lawsuit filed against U.S. Steel, the injury policy was unreasonable as workers may not realize they are injured until days later.
