Former workers at the RG Steel plant at Sparrows Point learned Monday how they will be impacted since the plant shut down and was sold to a liquidation company.
More than 1,000 people attended a meeting Monday at their union hall in Dundalk.
Benefits are scheduled to run out shortly.
This is happening at Steel shops all over the country. The plants cant afford union wages, the plant gets sold, and best chances these guys have is they reapply as non-union workers rather than the plant being liquidated.
ReplyDeleteRe-Elect the current president and you will see many more plant closings. Unions need to be cut back and the EPA and the DOE need to be controlled. None of this will be done under the current office holder. Quite the contray, he is looking to expand the roles of all three. He lies about wanting to create jobs and then everything his administration does causes job loss. Vote for Mitt Romney-everything he has ever put his mind to he has succeded at.
ReplyDeleteThat's what the union thugs get. You demand, demand, demand, and in the end what happens? This.
ReplyDeleteMy brothers steel shop pays the prevailing union wage, but without having to jump through the union hoops.
Too bad Bain Capital didnt feel it was worthwhile to take them over.Maybe some poor people out there could take it over.
