The PWW says: "The proposed amalgamation of the Steelworkers and Machinists was endorsed by the presidents of all three unions. USWA President George Becker noted that a joint legislative conference of the three unions is scheduled for Wash D.C. in 1999. There, 3,000 delegates will represent two million members.
