About 228 workers at Honeywell Metropolis are no longer receiving paychecks, while the company cuts-back to modify the plant.  The company sent layoff notices in July to 228 of its workers in Metropolis, noting a production shutdown that could last up to 15 months would take place in lieu of plant upgrades for natural disasters.  One-hundred-25 of those are United Steelworkers Local 7-669 members.  Workers received their last paychecks Friday, with benefits continuing through the 30^th.  Union president Steven Lech tells KZIM KSIM he’s expecting many won’t hang on until they’re called back next summer.  Lech says Honeywell promised during a meeting last week they have set a tentative start-up date for August 1^st, 2013.  He says they will have to recall these laid-off workers a few months before that time for re-training.  A year ago, 184 union employees returned to their jobs after a 13-month lockout over disagreements on a three-year contract with the nuclear conversion plant.
