It seems odd that this vampire capitalist was investing so much money in retooling at the KC plant when all they wanted to do was suck the life out of them, doesnt it? This was only months before the closing.FORM 10-Q
QUARTERLY PERIOD ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2000

Capital expenditures increased to $19.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 from $12.9 million in the same period of 1999, principally due to increased expenditures at the Kansas City facility.
Hmmmmm. The Wall Street Journal had this to say in May of this year:FORM 10-Q
QUARTERLY PERIOD ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2000

The Company continues to incur net losses, primarily at its two steelmaking facilities in the United States related to continued depressed sales prices for its products in the United States resulting from high levels of lower priced imports of wire rod, which continue at record levels despite the tariff rate quota protection system approved by the President of the United States in February 2000. Slow downs and mine closures within the U.S. mining industry have also negatively affected demand and sales prices of grinding media produced by the Company at its Kansas City facility. Additionally, the Company's Kansas City facility continues to incur higher than normal manufacturing costs resulting from very high electricity prices and a longer than anticipated start-up after the shut down in the current quarter for capital improvements. Given these factors, the Company's Kansas City facility is currently operating with negative cash flows which, if not remedied, could impact the long-term viability of this facility.
GST is a tragic tale, though in a different way. The real story of GST is that of a private-equity firm trying to spark some life into a uncompetitive, over-unionized industry. Bain's crime hereif that's what you call itwas giving a dying steel plant an unexpected eight-year lease on life.

A reader who used to work at GST e-mails some context about the union situation there:
I nearly choked on my Cheerios when I read that GST employees were blaming Bain for their downfall. I worked at GST Steel in Kansas City for four months in 1997 immediately after leaving the Navy.
Why only four months? Quickly after I started, I surprised to learn that several of my fellow USW Local 13-represented employees, mostly millwrights and electricians, were making between $100-130k. This was mainly due to union-mandated overtime which, at least on a few occasions, consisted of the employees bringing in sleeping bags and pillows and sleeping in the shop. It would be hard for any company to stay competitive while paying double-time union wages to get their beauty sleep, but thats not the half of it. The union employees obviously didnt think they had it easy enough, so they went on strike in March of 97. The plant shut down for a couple of weeks until it re-started under the operation of management and non-union workers. The strike lasted a couple more months. I had a family to support, so I couldnt afford to wait. I took another (non-union) job with another company. They shuttered the plant for good a few years later.
Thats Bains fault? Just classic.
