Nippon Steel Corp.’s Vice President Takahiro Mori is set for a US visit that will include a meeting next week with workers representing the three major local unions that run United States Steel Corp.’s iconic plants in the Pittsburgh area.

Vice President Takahiro Mori is expected to visit the US next week and will meet with three local unions in the Pittsburgh area as the company works to gain approval for the US Steel (NYSE:X) deal, according to media reports from Bloomberg and CTFN.

The move shows the Japanese company is making a push to persuade union members that its bid to take over U.S. Steel will be good for workers.

The Nippon Steel Corp. executive spearheading the $14.9 billion acquisition of United States Steel Corp. will be returning to the Pittsburgh region this weekend to help seal the nearly year-old deal.
