NLMK Addresses Farrell Strike and Sourcing Woes

The strike by United Steelworkers Local 1016-03 at NLMK Pennsylvania is in its second week. NLMK issued a press release on Tuesday addressing some of the questions the public has asked regarding operations and negotiations.

The facility in Farrell continues to operate, manned by salaried employees. The company is finishing production of coils that were ordered before the strike as well as maintaining plant facilities. NLMK Pennsylvania converts slabs into hot-rolled and cold-rolled coils. Production has not shifted to the Indiana facility and customers are aware that supply will be reduced because of the strike.
