 Well we have seen some issues in the plant this past week. Electrical issues have caused many work centers to go idle. This is a direct result of not spending the money to upgrade, maintain the sub stations and transformers over the last 10 or 20 years! 

 Rod is rolling in and Wiredraw is ramping up for next week. 

 Reminder of the Labour Day Parade and picnic on Monday, September 5th, 2022

NEW LOCATION!!!

Good Morning members and retirees of USW Local 5328.

Looks like rod has been an issue lately but the company is expecting delivery from other suppliers next week. Wiredraw should ramp up after next week. 

 Covid on the rise! Please follow proper protocols and sanitize your immediate work areas. Numbers are increasing and we need to stay safe!
