An arbitration board on Wednesday dominated that Nippon Metal’s proposed $14.9 billion acquisition of U.S. Metal has complied with the necessities of the agency’s labor settlement with the United Steelworkers (USW) union, eradicating a possible hurdle to the deal in the end continuing.

The arbitration board, which was chosen by U.S. Metal and the union to settle disputes, discovered that the corporate met its obligations below the successorship provisions of its labor contract with the USW, regardless of the union’s objections.

The USW stated in a press launch that it acquired the arbitration board’s resolution and that “we strenuously disagree with the result.”
