Stelco layoffs hit hundreds of Ontario steelworkers
Original: stelco
Stelco, the Ontario steelmaker, is slowing operations and laying off hundreds of workers in Hamilton and Nanticoke. CEO Alan Kestenbaum said no amount of money could have prevented the slowdown, pointing to the impact of US tariffs on Canadian steel. Reports link the decision to the trade war under Trump, and commentators are debating whether Canada's steel industry can survive. Workers describe the layoffs as devastating, with many facing an uncertain financial future.
Why now: The layoffs are directly tied to US tariffs on Canadian steel, a major ongoing trade dispute affecting Canadian jobs.
