AP quoted Mr James Sanderson president of United Steelworkers 7898 as saying that there is no way to prevent Georgetown Steel mill from closing later this month.
He added that time has run out for workers and the mill to reach an agreement to keep the mill open after July 12th 2009.
Mr Sanderson said that union members rejected a proposal from the mill owners to take a USD 3.65 per hour pay cut and work just 24 hours during slow periods.
