Quick Summary

Minister Mélanie Joly warned that Cleveland-Cliffs must not cite the trade war as a reason for cutting jobs at Stelco's Hamilton plant, where job commitments were made during the purchase of the facility. This stance is bolstered by comments from the U.S.-based parent company’s leader supporting steel tariffs.

Story summary

Industry Minister Mélanie Joly wrote a letter on Monday to Stelco president Paul Simon demanding that the company present within five days a plan to maintain jobs as promised during Cleveland-Cliffs' 2024 takeover of Stelco, or face legal action. The government had approved Cleveland-Cliffs' acquisition under conditions that included maintaining at least the same number of unionized employees and most non-union workers employed when the deal was announced. Joly expressed "extreme disappointment" over Stelco's plan to lay off up to 500 steelworkers in Hamilton and Lake Erie operations due to U.S. tariffs and market pressures. Joly emphasized that these conditions are binding, despite Cleveland-Cliffs CEO Lourenco Goncalves' support for the same tariffs he claims are forcing layoffs.
