Former employees of Alcoa in Rockdale, Texas can feel the pain of some Canadian workers.
Last year, Alcoa shut down its operations in Rockdale putting more than 600 workers on the streets and the economy of Rockdale at risk.
Monday, Alcoa announced it may curtail production and lay off 275 workers at a smelter in Canada if it’s unable to negotiate a 15-percent pay cut with employees there.

The largest U.S. aluminum maker says negotiations are continuing with representatives of about 1,000 workers at the smelter in Becancour, Quebec.
Alcoa told the employees in early March it wanted to reduce labor costs there and says it will cut production and lay off the workers if an agreement isn’t reached by April 30.

Last week, Alcoa reported a first-quarter loss of $497 million as the weak global economy continued to undermine prices and demand for the lightweight metal used in everything from autos to window frames.
