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.

President's Message - December 22, 2023

Good Morning members and retirees of USW Local 5328. 

Well we made it to the end of 2023!! Some ups and downs but we survived another year of being busy, not busy, shipping crazy amounts, not shipping anything! A couple of unfortunate accidents that were life changing, but we are resilient and will deal with it to make our workplace safer!!
