Grand Rivers, KY – Workers at the Grand Rivers' Vulcan Materials Company will vote this week on whether to form a union through the United Mine Workers of America. Union representative Tim Miller tells The Paducah Sun workers reached out to the organization last year and claims their benefits have been eroded and their pay has not risen with inflation. Vulcan spokesman John English says the Alabama-based company is opposed to the unionization efforts. The company is the nation's largest producer of construction aggregates like crushed stone, sand and gravel.
