What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Stelco is indefinitely idling its cold rolled and coated steel operations at Hamilton Works starting October 9. Up to 500 employees across its Hamilton and Lake Erie facilities could be affected, with Stelco blaming the decision on weak demand, continued imports, and the impact of U.S. tariffs on Canadian steel. The company plans to shift production toward its Lake Erie Works facility in Nanticoke. Industry Minister Mélanie Joly warned that Ottawa could take legal action if Cleveland-Cliffs fails to meet employment obligations from its 2024 acquisition.
