Negotiations began back in August 2005 for Integris Metals which is located in Livermore , CA and employs 25 warehouse personnel and 8 drivers. With the recent buyout of Integris Metals by Ryerson Tull, negotiations were expected to be very tenacious and difficult. Local 70 was well prepared with a negotiating team of Business Agents Bob Aiello and Dominic Chiovare, and Shop Stewards George Lucero and James Ramsey.

The contract was overwhelmingly ratified. Members will enjoy an 11% wage increase over 4 ½ years and a 7.5% increase in pension as well. Major progress was made in language cleanup, increasing sick leave days, health and welfare and job security. However, Ryerson Tull is a company that does not employ their own drivers to supply their customers; these jobs were negotiated into the warehouse for those drivers who chose to do so.
