Item 5. OTHER EVENTS
On August 10, 1995, Bayou Steel Corporation, ("the Company") filed in
Delaware court a request for injunctive relief and a request for a jury trial
against the United Steelworkers of America, International, AFL-CIO-CLC; United
Steelworkers of America, Local 9121 (collectively the "Union"); and the
International Union Department of the American Federation of Labor - Congress of
Industrial Organizations ("IUD"). On March 21, 1993, the Union initiated a
strike against the Company and has also waged a so-called "corporate campaign"
against the Company.
The lawsuit charges the union with numerous violations of the Racketeer
Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO), federal securities fraud,
extortion and a number of other allegations related to the union's violence and
threats of violence. The lawsuit was filed in the United States District Court
in Delaware, where the Company is Incorporated. The Company brought this action
to stop these activities and to recover the damages it has suffered.
