Good evening Brothers, Sisters & Retirees

The end of the year is a time that we sit back and see what the past 12 months have brought us. 

We reflect on the great things that have happened as well as the challenging ones. It’s a time we see where the future is going and pursue it with hope.

From the Executive of USW 5328, May 2025 be all that you hope for, and that you and your family stay happy and safe. Enjoy your much deserved time off work.

Happy Holidays and a Merry Christmas!!!!!

Thanks to those that made it to the Labour Day Parade and picnic!! It was a fantastic day and nice to see some retirees!! 

I was informed this week that ArcelorMittal will be getting out of the PC Strand business for the balance of this year and all of 2025. It was reported that we are taking a loss on the product. There are no layoffs as a result and we are currently hiring.
