About 400 United Steel Workers went on strike at Constellium SE’s aluminum factory in Muscle Shoals, Alabama, citing unfair labor practices and disagreements over health care demands that are on the table.
“They’re going on strike, the company has got health care demands on the table and all sorts of rollbacks,” Tom Conway, the president of the United Steelworkers of America, said in a telephone interview. “Most of those jobs have been decent jobs for a long time and this company is doing OK; there’s no need for what they’re asking for.”
