One of a few companies left in Johnstown that works with steel is having trouble coming up with a contract.

A private information only meeting was held for union employees at the Solomon Volunteer Fire Hall Tuesday afternoon.

Dozens of employees declined an opportunity for an interview after the meeting...since July 2nd employees of Johnstown Corp which makes Mill Rolls and Castings have been working without a contract. Starting at 5 AM today, they will vote again.

The company has been struggling to compete with foreign steel imports that are exempt from tariffs. In fact; 2 years ago the 150 union workers voted to accept a contract with a one dollar per hour pay cut for six months after which 50 cents was restored. Then after 5 more months the wage was back where it started.
