COLUMBUS -
Contract negotiations were in full swing on Monday as the Stillwater Mine and its workers look to come to terms before that contract expires June 1st.
While nearly 1,000 union workers remain under contract for the time being, a group of women called "Wives of Stillwater Miners" is standing up in support for all in the union, standing along Pike Avenue in Columbus with signs.
The union says Stillwater Mine posted record profits for last year, exceeding $70 million.
It also says the company is looking to slash workers pay and benefits by 25 percent.
