Union Accepts Alcan Contract
WEST VIRGINIA....
In a third attempt, United Steelworkers Local 5668 workers at Alcan Rolled Products in Ravenswood have voted 419 to 212 to accept a new two-year contract offer which includes wage and benefit improvements, along with guarantees against layoffs related to a job re-organization plan. But layoffs would be allowed when orders decline. Those same workers overwhelmingly defeated two previous contract proposals in recent weeks.
