Pickets at Lorain Works amid extended USX steel strike
After a week of picketing at U S Steel Lorain Works three construction trailers arrived to shelter workers from rain with more to come. Al Pena predicts funding from the United Steelworkers defense fund will cover the trailers. The strike enters its eighth day with no talks scheduled and 45,000 steelworkers nationwide out, as unemployment eligibility remains unsettled. Officials say talks remain stalled over wages benefits and subcontracting while workers express unity and determination.
