USW Local 831 News June 16, 2009 - Local 831 Votes Yes !

Authorization to call a strike for Master and/or Local contract, if necessary, was overwhelmingly approved by membership. We had a strong turnout even with gloomy weather. This sends a strong message of support to our negotiators and a strong message of resolve to the company.

The GKD Website is up and running with a new look to keep you informed during the ongoing contract negotiations. Click the link at the right or visit www.uswgkd.com for future updates.

USW Local 831 News May 14, 2009

For those members on layoff that had union dues withheld from the $100 SUB benefit fund listen up. A refund of $1.45 is available at the Union Hall for the dues withheld. Maybe not worth a special trip but if you are over that way please stop by and see Financial Secretary Greg Gammon for your refund.
