As many of you are aware, we had an incident in Iron Producing yesterday. We are still in the process of gathering information. We are extremely fortunate there were no injuries stemming from this event.

Resulting from yesterday’s incident there were numerous videos and pictures posted on social media. Please familiarize yourself with the Company’s camera and recording policy. It is important to remember social media is a very powerful tool and we should always make every effort to use it wisely.

Yesterday, the Governor has announced we are extending phase 4.5 of the plan to re-open Indiana. Due to COVID-19, in person communications have been severely restricted. Moving forward, in accordance with the Governor’s plan, we will be conducting shop meetings throughout the plant regarding the current state of business and related issues. We will be extending invitations to management in the spirit of good industrial relations to attend these meetings so they may be part of the communication process. Please watch for upcoming flyers in your area for meeting dates and times.

As always, continue to work safely as we navigate through these challenging times.

In Solidarity, 
Pete Trinidad Sr. 
USW 6787 President
