Business Wire
Alcoa Corporation, a global leader in bauxite, alumina, and
aluminum products, has agreed to extend the existing labor contract
with the United Steelworkers to reach a new multi-year labor
agreement covering approximately 1,700 active employees at five
U.S. locations.
The Company and the union have agreed to recognize the existing
contract, which was set to expire on May 15, 2019, so negotiations
can continue. A new deadline has not been set.
Employees represented by the United Steelworkers will continue
to work under the terms of the extended contract at the five sites:
Warrick Operations in Indiana; Massena Operations in New York; Gum
Springs in Arkansas; Wenatchee Works in Washington and Point
Comfort in Texas.
Most of those represented by the United Steelworkers work at
Warrick Operations’ aluminum smelter and rolling mill and at the
Massena Operations smelter. The Point Comfort alumina refinery and
the Wenatchee Works aluminum smelter are both fully curtailed.
