The plant reportedly has 30 to 40 moulders at work, producing two casts daily, with plans to source castings externally if needed. Union leaders counter that the company is not molding and is laying off men for lack of castings, while accusing Foreman Edwards of instigating the strike. Merchants report little immediate impact but fear harsher effects if the strike continues.
