Quick Summary

Stelco is recalling 175 workers who were laid off earlier this fall to return to the Hamilton steel plant by December 1. The company will retroactively pay these workers for their time off following a demand from the federal government, which warned of legal action against the American parent company, Cleveland-Cliffs. This move follows a September announcement by Cleveland-Cliffs to idle production and lay off as many as 500 workers, a move Industry Minister Mélanie Joly stated would violate binding commitments made during the 2024 acquisition of Stelco.
