Hurricane Harvey is forcing union workers at Wyman-Gordon in northwest Houston to abandon the picket line, though they remain on strike.

The employees, represented by the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers, went on strike Monday to protest pay and benefit cuts proposed by Wyman-Gordon, which has an aerospace and energy manufacturing facility in northwest Houston.

Management and the union are meeting Friday to review the latest concerns and proposals from union members. But the most important thing is making sure everyone is prepared for Hurricane Harvey, a union spokesman said.
