MASSENA, New York (WWNY) - Alcoa workers in Massena will take a strike authorization vote next Thursday.
The 375 members of United Steelworkers Local 420A have a contract that runs out in the middle May.
The union says talks aren’t going well and next week’s vote doesn’t mean a strike will happen, but that one could happen.
The new contract covers the remaining plants Alcoa has in the U.S. That includes Massena, 400 workers at at a smelter in Indiana, and 35 at a plant in Louisiana.
The union says it’s fighting for retirement issues, wages and healthcare.
The 2 sides go back into negotiations on May 8.
