RG Steel in Warren cutting pay of management, office workers

WARREN — RG Steel will cut the pay of management and office employees at its plant here.

The reduction-of-employee cost measure that is being taken along with several other cost-cutting efforts will continue until business conditions improve, said Bette Kovach, spokeswoman for RG Steel.

There will be 140 salaried employees impacted at the Warren facility. They are mostly employees within operations management or office workers in departments like sales or purchasing, she said.
