This helps the plant runs as safely as possible while protecting our members from unfair treatment.

Honeywell Metropolis has close to 500,000 gallons of HF on site. One drop of liquid HF on someone's skin can kill. Here are some graphic pictures of the results of HF exposure. Viewer discretion is advised.



AT 6:30 P.M ON MONDAY JUNE 28, 2010 THE COMPANY LOCKED THE UNION OUT OF THE PLANT EVEN THOUGH THE UNION OFFERED TO WORK UNDER THE OLD AGREEMENT.

THE UNION AGREED TO A CONTRACT EXTENSION AS LONG AS THE COMPANY AGREED NOT TO LOCK US OUT!  THE COMPANY HAS FALSELY CLAIMED THAT WE REFUSED TO EXTEND THE CONTRACT.
