Century, USW extend contract at Kentucky smelter through April 13

Reuters - UK Focus

NEW YORK, April 8 (Reuters) - Century Aluminum Co (NasdaqGS: CENX - news) and workers at its Hawesville, Kentucky, smelter extended their current labor contract through April 13 as union members vote on the latest proposal, the United Steelworkers District 8 director said on Wednesday.

The current five-year contract at the 244,000-tonne-per-year smelter had been scheduled to expire on March 31, but the deadline for negotiations was extended.

Century, owned by Swiss commodities trading and mining company Glencore (Xetra: A1JAGV - news) , threatened to close the smelter two years ago, due to high power costs. (Reporting By Luc Cohen)
