Alcan Contract Extended
WEST VIRGINIA....
An old contract has once again been extended until Monday June 14th for workers at Alcan Rolled Products in Ravenswood. On that day, members of United Steelworker 568 will vote to ratify Alcan's final offer for a new contract that allows for health insurance protection for employees and increases in hourly wages and pension benefits for workers. In exchange, the company wants to organize a joint committee consisting of labor and management in order to find ways to improve operations and efficiency at the plant. If approved, the contract will be in place for the next two years.
