           ALLEGHENY TECHNOLOGIES AND USWA REACH TENTATIVE LABOR AGREEMENT
                   FOR ATI ALLEGHENY LUDLUM AND J&L SPECIALTY STEEL

Pittsburgh, PA - May 7, 2004 - Allegheny Technologies Incorporated (NYSE:ATI)
announced today that a tentative agreement has been reached on a progressive
labor contract covering USWA-represented employees at both ATI Allegheny Ludlum
and J&L Specialty Steel. The tentative agreement, which is subject to
ratification, is patterned after other progressive agreements with the USWA.

Ratification of a new collective bargaining agreement with USWA-represented
employees at both Allegheny Ludlum and J&L Specialty is a condition of closing
to the acquisition of certain assets of J&L Specialty Steel, LLC (J&L) by a
wholly owned subsidiary of ATI Allegheny Ludlum. As previously announced,
ratification of the agreement is expected to occur by May 28, 2004. Accordingly,
ATI anticipates being able to close the transaction on or before June 1, 2004.

"This labor agreement helps secure a strong future for the employees of
Allegheny Ludlum and J&L Specialty by providing a more competitive cost
structure," said Pat Hassey, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of
Allegheny Technologies. "The agreement will save jobs while providing the
flexibility to efficiently staff and operate these facilities.

"The USWA local and international leadership have been instrumental in reaching
this tentative agreement, which helps create a stronger more competitive
flat-rolled stainless steel company.

"This agreement, once ratified, puts us in a position to close on the J&L
Specialty acquisition. The acquisition enhances our competitive position in the
North American flat-rolled stainless steel market. It maintains historical
domestic capacity and keeps significant J&L equipment in production. We believe
that the new labor agreement and the J&L acquisition best serve employees,
retirees, customers and the communities in which the facilities operate."

The tentative agreement, which would expire June 30, 2007, will replace existing
labor agreements at both Allegheny Ludlum and J&L upon ratification. Further
details about the tentative agreement will not be made available until after the
ratification process is complete.
