Employees at Prysmian Group plant in Scottsville will be on strike for three weeks as of this Saturday, with an incident breaking out at the plant Tuesday morning.
According to Harrison County Sheriff’s Office Police Information Officer Jay Webb, at about 7 a.m. Tuesday, a worker on strike at the plant attempted to step in front of a vehicle entering the plant with a worker who is not on strike.
The striker allegedly blocked the vehicle’s path entering the plant, and swung a sign at the vehicle. The striker also claims that the vehicle struck him as it entered.
A passenger in the vehicle exited the vehicle after a verbal altercation occurred. The passenger then allegedly hit the striker and then got into the vehicle and drove into the plant.
