Militant/Tony LaneSteelworkers on strike against ATI and supporters rally May 15.
LOUISVILLE, Ohio Some 150 striking steelworkers, fellow United Steelworkers union members, retirees and other supporters rallied May 15, as 1,300 steelworkers here and in four other states continue their strike against Allegheny Technologies Inc.
ATI announced last December they were planning to shut down the Louisville plant. Since then no closure date and no severance package have been set.
“The company won’t give us a shutdown date, so do they want to shut it down?” Dave Burgess, one of the Louisville strikers, told the
Militant. “They’re trying to sway the union to take a bad contract.”

BUCYRUS - GE Lighting has ceased production of A19 LED bulbs at its Bucyrus plant and even discarded equipment used to produce them, but the fight to save jobs at the plant is continuing.
On Tuesday, Will Evans, president of IUE-CWA Local 84704, asked members of Bucyrus City Council to pass a resolution in support of the ongoing efforts. We have not given up on bringing the jobs back and bringing further investment to the plant, Evans said. We want to keep this product line going.
Earlier in the day, U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown, D-OH, continued to push for action and advocated on behalf of workers at the plant during a Senate Finance Committee hearing.
