Kaiser Aluminum is threatening a reduction in our pension benefits with proposed health care cost increases to its retirees. We know some of you have been at PL for five generations. There is no protection from contracting out our jobs. Charles Hurwitz is asking you and others to travel hundreds of miles to work at hot, dirty, dangerous jobs where you would have the pleasure of crossing a picket line every day. Imagine working with hundreds of newcomers operating heavy, dangerous equipment involving molten and toxic metal.
Turnover is tremendous and there have been serious injuries.
Unions have fought hard over the last 100 years to raise the standard of living of every American. Benefits like medical insurance, a living wage, and unemployment insurance are the right of every citizen because union men and women fought and died in this country. If you have any questions, please don t hesitate to give us a call at the number above. Every American should have the right to have a job. Please support ours.
