ITEM 2.05. COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH EXIT OR DISPOSAL ACTIVITIES
On April 29, 2014, the Company announced the planned closure of the Bristol Fabrication unit of Synalloy Fabrication, LLC ("Bristol Fab"). Bristol Fab incurred losses totaling $5,200,000 during the three year period 2011 through 2013. The collective bargaining agreement with the United Association of Journeyman and Apprentices of the Plumbing and Pipe Fitting Industry of the United States and Canada Local Union No. 538 (the "Union) expired in February 2014. The Company could not reach an agreement with the Union to reduce Bristol Fab's overall cost structure and return the unit to profitable levels. Currently, the Company is obligated to pay a withdrawal liability to the Union's pension fund of approximately $1,900,000. Additional costs associated with this closure cannot be determined at this time. The Company delivered WARN Notices to employees, union representatives and local elected officials on April 28, 2014. The closure of Bristol Fab is currently scheduled for June 27, 2014. This planned closure will not affect Ram-Fab, LLC, the Company's fabrication business located in Crossett, Arkansas, or any of the Company's other operating units.
