Here’s the latest I can share based on available sources:
-
A tentative contract agreement was reported between Northern Indiana Public Service Company (NIPSCO) and the United Steelworkers union after a lockout of about 1,600 workers began in early April 2026. The agreement would need union ratification to take full effect.[3][4]
-
Earlier news indicated NIPSCO initiated a lockout after negotiations stalled over a new contract, affecting roughly 1,600 union workers across Northern Indiana.[1]
-
Additional context shows NIPSCO has pursued a mix of projects and regulatory steps in recent years, including solar and wind initiatives, and interactions with state regulators, though those items are separate from the 2026 labor dispute.[2][8]
If you’d like, I can pull more current local coverage or regulatory filings (e.g., IURC decisions, union ratification status) and summarize them with citations.
