Past profit-sharing numbers have topped fifteen to sixteen thousand dollars for our members, and we feel that the offer from the company falls well short of that,” Beachum said in the release.Beachum says the union is still willing to work with management to come to a fair resolution, but will not accept anything less than the value of employees’ work.“Our membership had shown today that they will not be bullied into accepting an unfair deal based only on fear and corporate greed,” Beachum said in the release.The issues with Howmet began with letters sent to employees in early October informing them that they were overpaid between the first quarter of 2025 and the second quarter of 2026 and now need to pay back what they owe within 30 days.For several employees, that amount was more than $10,000.From there, employees were told that their wages would be drastically reduced as the company garnishes their wages to reclaim the lost funds.Employees alleged that Howmet did not provide proof that they truly owed this money and demanded that the company provide that proof.Beachum said in the release that the company still has not provided that proof.</div></body>
