Locked-out Steelworkers march in  
Alabama  
 

More than 400 Steelworkers and supporters participated in a February 22 candlelight march and prayer vigil at the Scottsboro Aluminum plant gate in Alabama. The company broke off negotiations when the old contract expired last October, locked the workers out, and has been attempting to run the plant with scabs since then. None of the 420 union members have crossed the picket line. The Steelworkers are demanding a limit to forced overtime, decent health insurance for future retirees, and respect and fairness in the workplace.
