“This is tremendous news for the retirees and families of Century Aluminum. I am so thankful that after years of fighting for what they rightfully earned, Century’s retirees and families will have the health care benefits that were promised to them. These men and women dedicated years of service to Century and to Jackson County, and they deserve nothing but the utmost respect from the company. I am grateful the company will honor their commitment.”
