Steel Giant US Steel Faces Bidding War From Industry Rivals
- US Steel has received multiple takeover bids, including from Cleveland-Cliffs, Esmark, and ArcelorMittal.
- The acquisition could reshape the global steel industry and unite two of the largest American steel producers.
- Cleveland-Cliffs' offer was initially rejected, but it could gain majority control of domestic flat steel production if successful.

- The United Steelworkers union has endorsed only Cleveland-Cliffs' bid citing job security concerns.
