"We just need USW leadership to come to the table. I am hopeful they will do so in the very near future," Vice Chairman Takahiro Mori said in a letter, according to Reuters.
The United Steelworkers did not immediately reply to MT Newswires' request for comment.
The company also said it will sell its 2.9 million-share stake in South Korean steelmaker Posco Holdings.
