Stelco

Hundreds of Stelco employees at the steelmaker's Hamilton and Nanticoke, Ontario operations are facing layoffs, with workers describing the situation as devastating and many now facing an uncertain future. The job losses are raising concerns about the impact on families and the local economies of both steel communities.

Prime Minister Mark Carney accused US steelmaker Cleveland-Cliffs of betraying Canadian workers after it announced plans to shut down parts of its Stelco operations in Ontario. Carney said the government will take all necessary steps to ensure the company meets its legal obligations, protecting jobs and communities that depend on the steel industry.
