MASSENA – Alcoa Inc. is expected to announce Friday it will be starting operations at its Massena East Plant, which has been idled for the last two years.
David W. LaClair Jr., president of United Steelworkers Local 450, is meeting with Alcoa representatives this afternoon to confirm the news.
Mr. LaClair said he understands that approximately 100 employees laid off when the plant was idled in March 2009 will be returning back to work. New hires are also a possibility down the road for both the East and the West plants, Mr. LaClair said.
"Of course we'd be very thrilled an excited," Mr. LaClair said. "It's great news for Massena and the surrounding communities. It's something that Massena needs."
