USW Workers Strike at NLMK Pennsylvania
Written by Sandy Williams
A threatened strike at NLMK Pennsylvania became reality on Saturday when United Steelworkers at the company’s Farrell, Pa., plant walked off the job over what they claim are unfair labor practices. Local 1016-3 gave NLMK management a 48-hour strike notice on Friday, Aug. 20.
Months of labor negotiations between management and the union deteriorated over a proposed healthcare plan that the USW says it does not want or trust and has rejected in the past.
