Workers rally outside Duferco plant in Farrell

FARRELL, Pa. — Hoping to nudge Duferco into negotiating a new contract faster, plant workers took to the street for a rally in front of the company.

A group of them stood with signs in hands Wednesday across the street from the plant entrance on Roemer Boulevard.

Trucks honked in support. They waved back.

It wasn’t a hostile move on the part of United Steel Workers Local No. 1016-03, said the union’s president, Dave McLaren. It was simply a solidarity rally to protest the negotiations McLaren characterized as “moving forward, but moving very slow.”
