MONROE COUNTY, OH -- They have been on strike for months, but now a contract proposal has been made to union workers at Ormet Aluminum in Monroe County.
Thursday, Ronnie Blatt with the U-S-W-A told News 9 that his union has rejected the contract proposal.
Blatt says the contract for the Reduction Plant would not freeze pensions, but it would include a reduction in retiree benefits.
He also says the company also wants to contract out certain jobs, which he says will wipe-out many jobs. "We could possibly loose 400 people over and above the reduction we already gave...we believe this is a major step backwards, it proves they are not negotiation in good faith." <snip>
