Background
The Cascade Steel Rolling Mills plant began operating in 1968 and was acquired by Schnitzer Steel in 1984.[1] The plant sells its products to customers located in the western United States.[1] The plant typically uses recycled steel as its input material.
In 2015, Cascade Steel Rolling Mills was fined $7,099 for violating its water pollution permit.[2]

In June 2019, 97 percent of the 280 workers at the plant voted to strike due to minimal wage raises and lacking benefits.[4]
In May 2021, there was a large fire that damaged equipment that halted production for a few months; the plant restarted its operations in August 2021.[5]
