A group that marched in Washington County's parade Saturday morning has been marching for days.

As of midnight Saturday night United Steelworkers union members have been picketing outside of Eramet for exactly one week.

The steelworkers say it’s not just one issue that has been keeping them on the lines but several.

"You're only hearing about retirees and pensions but there are several issues. This company has made millions of dollars over the last three years and the predictions say there's still a lot of money over the next two or three. And they're coming in and making the concessions of over ten million dollars," says Local Union V.P. Steve Tompkins.

Tompkins says that roughly two hundred and ninety union members are out on the street right now.
