As of 12:01 a.m. on Dec. 23, 2024, Welded Tube of Canada locked out 340 members of USW Local 8328 following months of collective bargaining without reaching an agreement. Despite progress on most issues, the key sticking points remain wage increases and a signing bonus.
The union remains committed to achieving a fair contract and is urging members to participate in picket duties while continuing to express readiness to return to the bargaining table.
This lockout comes during a time that should foster togetherness, underscoring the union’s determination to fight for better wages and working conditions for its members.
