Steelworkers Begin Second Week of Strike over Unfair Labor Practices at Allegheny Technologies
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In labor news, over 1,300 steelworkers in Pennsylvania, Ohio, New York,
Massachusetts and Connecticut are entering into their second week on
strike. United Steelworkers says Allegheny Technologies has refused to
bargain in good faith with workers who are demanding fair wages, job
security and better healthcare.

Meanwhile, in Alabama, over 1,000 mineworkers are on strike at Warrior
Met Coal. Amazon workers from Bessemer, about 30 minutes away from the
mines, have been joining strikers on the picket line. Votes are still
being tallied in Bessemer in what could become Amazon's first-ever
union.
