Georgetown Steel workers have walked out amid a dispute over retirement benefits and wages. Union treasurer Robert Davis says the offer fails to reach industry averages, while president James E. Sanderson Jr. claims workers are locked out rather than striking. The six year deal would raise average pay from 19 to 23 dollars per hour and boost pension benefits by 40 percent, with a $1.2 million retiree health care trust. Daily accuses negotiators of not presenting to members for a vote as labor talks stalled.
