Union vote at Vallourec

[Billy Mumphrey]

Unions helped build the middle class here in the valley. You anti-union folks must be having senior moments.
Always remember what unions gave all of us!

Hopefully Chris's side will prevail.

Read teh comments, especially this one:

"Being one of the not dumb employees of Vallourec star I wish to set the record straight here for the majority of the star workers. WE do not need nor want a union interfering with the great relationship that we currentjy have here. This union was enticed by a few disenfranchised older mill hands and seen major dollars to fatten the international UE's coffers at our expense, they have divided our workforce and made promises that they could never keep, brought in foreigner's to confuse the misinformed and uneducated. We the majority at Vallourec are in a fierce battle to maintain our great standard of living and allow a world class organization like Vallourec to continue bringing wealth and opportunity to the valley that needs this gem to help make the area great again.. please don't paint us all idiot's. CHRISTOPHER GALLAGHER. Grateful Vallourec Employee"

Good luck to the workers on their vote next week. It's time to rebuild unions in the valley. If Vallourec wants to make pipes for fracking,
they might as well pay union wages. If they want to help rebuild Youngstown, help it by paying union wages and rebuild Youngstown's middle class.
