Strike hits ArcelorMittal steel plant in Mexico
Text Size 
MEXICO CITY - Unionized workers have gone on strike at the ArcelorMittal SA steel plant in Mexico's Pacific coast port of Lazaro Cardenas.
The plant is one of Mexico's largest steel facilities and was shuttered by a strike for more than four months in 2006.
The Mine, Metal and Steel Workers Union says that 3,500 union members are on strike at the plant, which employs a total of about 7,000 people.
The union says the strike was launched Saturday after it made several proposals for a new labor contract to the company that were rejected. The company was not available for comment.
The union says it is willing to continue talks. ArcelorMittal is the world's largest steel maker. It acquired the Lazaro Cardenas plant in late 2006.
