Members of USW Local 5613 and their allies rallied today in Amarillo, Texas, in support of ongoing contract negotiations with ASARCO, which will resume Nov. 14.
Nearly 2,000 workers at locations in Arizona and Texas, including members of Local 5613 in Amarillo, began an unfair labor practice strike in mid-October. They also voted to reject the Grupo Mexico subsidiary’s so-called “last, best and final” contract offer, which called for deep concessions on wages, health care and retirement benefits.
