Century rejects union proposal for labor deal at Kentucky smelter

Reuters - UK Focus

NEW YORK, May 7 (Reuters) - Century Aluminum (NasdaqGS: CENX - news) rejected a counter-proposal made by unionized workers at its Hawesville, Kentucky, smelter on Thursday, according to a post on the local United Steelworkers' website, just four days ahead of a planned lockout.

The union said that after meeting with Century, which is controlled by Glencore (Xetra: A1JAGV - news) , the company returned with its original proposal, placing the two sides at a stalemate before a lockout of unionized workers is set to begin on Monday.

Union members have rejected three proposed deals with Century. (Reporting by Luc Cohen; Editing by Leslie Adler)
