What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Stelco is implementing layoffs, which are expected to cost hundreds of jobs. Ron Wells, president of United Steelworkers Local 1005, stated that the union supports a federal government takeover of the steelmaker. The federal government is looking into taking Cleveland-Cliffs to court, alleging the company broke a commitment to maintain worker numbers after acquiring Stelco in 2024.
