Pittsburgh— United Steelworkers (USW) members attending the National Oil Bargaining conference here this week developed bargaining proposals  that will go to the oil membership for a vote before they become the union’s national bargaining policy. Delegates also passed unanimously a resolution to form a committee that will put together a supplemental strike fund to support oil locals and units in addition to the International union’s substantial strike and defense fund.
