PITTSBURGH--(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.
