USW Convention | April 7-10, 2025 Get registration information here
Our USW Local 235A bargaining committee will be returning to the table for additional contract talks with Sherwin Alumina next week on December 14 and 15.
During our most recent meetings, the company has continued to drastically reduce its proposals. Meanwhile, we have continued to make counter proposals and to bargain in good faith, but it has been difficult to reach a fair settlement when the company keeps moving the goalposts.
While we are well aware of the difficult state of our industry, we do not believe that it should be used as an excuse to keep hundreds of hard-working people unnecessarily locked out of their jobs for more than a year.
We look forward to our upcoming talks with Sherwin, we hope they will be fruitful, and we remain committed to reaching an agreement that is fair to both sides.
Please note that following our bargaining sessions, we will be holding an informational meeting for all Local 235A members on Thursday, Dec. 17. Please stay tuned for more details about this meeting as they become available.
