Karen Lee posted fifteen photos with the comment: "Some old pictures from ARMCO Steel in Butler, PA.  It was ARMCO, AK Steel and now Cleveland Cliffs.  I've worked here for over 30 years.  Hope you like........."
Karen Lee: These pictures are from a calendar put out by our previous union, Butler Armco Independent Union. I am lucky to have a copy of the calendar as it was from 2002.
