NEWS ALERT- MUSCLE SHOALS - On Tuesday night, members of United Steelworkers (USW) Local 200 voted overwhelmingly to reject Constellium's offer,

commencing a strike at 12:00am Wednesday. This according to multiple sources, close to the situation.

The strike was reportedly over seniority and not pay issues.
Constellium and the USW have been in negotiations for the past couple of weeks.
In June, a U.S. District Court judge blocked an effort by Constellium Rolled Products Ravenswood, in Mineral Wells, West Virginia,

to overturn an arbitrator's ruling that prevented the company from making unilateral changes to health care benefits for its retirees.


The USW represents 850,000 men and women employed in metals, mining, pulp and paper, rubber, chemicals, glass, auto supply and the energy-producing industries, along with a growing number of workers in public sector and service occupations.
