One of
the Company’s Tulsa galvanizing plants had certain production employees who
were covered by a collective bargaining agreement with the United
Steel, Paper and Forestry, Rubber, Manufacturing, Energy Allied Industrial and
Service Workers International Union (the “Union”). The agreement was set
to expire on October 31, 2008.
After several
of the employees who were covered by the
agreement petitioned the National Labor Relations Board
for a decertification vote, a decertification election was
scheduled to be held on September 25 , 2008 .
However, on September 22, 2008, the Union filed a “disclaimer of
interest” with the National Labor Relations Board, which denotes that
the union is withdrawing it’s representation of the Company’s Tulsa
employees. Thus, the Union has been decertified and the employees
covered by that agreement are no longer represented by the
Union.
Pursuant
to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has
duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned hereunto
duly authorized.
