Production continues at the Wheatland Tube plant as both company officials and members of the striking United Steelworks Local 1660 struggle to come to an agreement on a new contract.

The two sides met Friday morning for another round of negotiations.

"Both sides showed some movement, and I term the session productive," said Bill Kerins, vice president of Wheatland Tube. He said the tone of the meeting was "very professional."

Kerins said there was movement on a number of issues but didn't offer details.

"We moved, I thought, considerably. The company didn't move very much at all," said Dominic Vadala, the union's chief negotiator. "In the very beginning it was pretty rocky, but after that it settled down."
